About
I enjoy wood working (65+ years) and take great pride in my work. I build wood furniture, repair wood furniture and refinish wood furniture. I do not return a piece to the customer until I am satisfied with the project. I do not do any upholstery work. I do not repair mechanical recliners. I do not re-cane wood chairs. I will pick up and return your furniture, but do not work in your home/office. I am a US Army veteran and offer all vet’s a 10% discount.

I hired Bob to refinish some outside benches that had been in direct sunlight for 8 years. They were cracked, turning black and had worn down significantly. I asked Bob to restore them and I wanted to do a stain with gray undertones to match wicker furniture. He was able to restore them beautifully. He sent me pictures along the process. The stain was not easy and he was patient and so helpful in getting the right color for me. I highly recommend Bob and plan to ask him to do more work for me. He is very talented.

Great experience with Bob overall. Had his help repairing a dresser. He truly shows that he cares the work that he does. Very responsive and punctual. The quality of the repair work is undoubtedly good.

Bob did a great job repairing a broken leg on an antique wingback chair I inherited from my mother. He not only repaired the leg, but he retouched the finish so that you cannot even tell that the leg was broken. He did the work in a timely manner and was very professional, responsive, and reasonable in price. He picked up the chair, returned it to me, and even placed it in the room for me. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the job he did, and I highly recommend Bob for antique furniture repair.

My husband and I picked up our two dining chairs today. You cannot tell they were in need of repair. Back in the dining room, the chairs look better than the rest of the chairs! We appreciate the excellent work Bob did on our chairs. Thank you.
