Since 1997, I have produced exquisite furniture specializing in Arts & Crafts, Shaker, traditional and modern furnishings. I am also committed to providing the highest quality furniture refinishing and restoration services. Most refinishers offer little in the way of repair. Mine is a full-service furniture repair and refinishing shop.

I replaced the rush with the proper size on both chairs and weaved seats on 4 additional chairs afterwards. I had a happy client when she came to get them!
These were pressed cane back chairs that had broken because they had been coated front and back with a thick paint making the cane very brittle. I replaced both panels and stained them dark using my custom mix. They were huge! The bottom picture shows them next to another chair that was also here for cane replacement.
This antique vanity was falling apart, and every time I removed one piece, two more broke. It had 211 nails where they shouldn't have been, loads of different glues, gaffer tape, and various creative solutions to hold it together. Some pieces were warped, tenons were broken, the top was split, the...
This chair had a dull, boring finish. It also had a split seat and a missing front rung. I turned a replacement rung on the lathe, repaired the seat, and refinished the entire chair. Look at that beautiful grain!
