Types of REpairs
Cane Seats
Custom Repairs
Custom Repairs
Repairing cane seats restores both comfort and character to well made chairs while preserving the craftsmanship that makes them special. Cane brings lightness, strength, and timeless style; and proper repair allows these pieces to remain functional and beautiful for years to come. Recaning maintains the original design, supports sustainable living, and keeps classic seating in use rather than replaced.

Custom Repairs
Custom repairs to old furniture honor the original craftsmanship while addressing the unique wear that comes with age and use. Recreating damaged or missing pieces allows a repair to blend seamlessly with the original design, preserving both function and appearance. This careful, made to fit approach keeps well loved furniture complete, usable, and true to its original character.
Chairs
Custom Repairs
Chairs used often, such as dining chairs, can experience breaks or damage over the years. Bringing these chairs for repair is common and often the repair can be done easily. I worked under Greg Aanes for a couple years and learned specifically how to repair his style of dining chair - though all are typically within my wheelhouse. Be sure to send images to confirm!
Refinishing
Refinishing furniture refreshes worn surfaces while respecting the history and character of the piece. It offers a thoughtful way to bridge the gap between old and new, preserving original details while giving furniture a renewed look that fits modern spaces. This balance allows well made pieces to continue their story with both authenticity and renewed beauty.
Simple Repairs
Sometimes a simple repair will do! Maybe your piano bench needs a new bottom (as seen in image above), or perhaps your old dresser needs the drawer stops replaced - whatever it may be, I am happy to discuss options and possible solutions with you.
Restoration
Furniture restoration brings new life to pieces that have seen years of use, combining skill and creativity to preserve their character. Sometimes this means crafting entirely new elements, like making fresh legs for a dining table whose original base was lost, so the piece can continue to shine in your home. Restoration bridges the old and the new, keeping the story of the furniture alive while making it functional and beautiful for today.
