I JUST ACCIDENTALLY FOUND YOUR WEBSITE AND AM GREATLY IMPRESSED. WISH I COULD COME TO YOUR SHOP. SANDRA WOODWARD, FAIR OAKS, CA WILL KEEP COMING BACK TO VISIT.
So thankful this thanksgiving that I found Raymond to restore family heirloom chairs badly damaged in my recent move back to the area. I hope these pictures help convey what he started with and the showroom quality he presented me back with. He went above and beyond to find and fix structural issues beyond the broken arm, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his caning craftsmanship.
Raymond is a true artisan craftsman! He turned an old mid twentieth century chair into a masterpiece. We set it up in our home and can’t stop admiring the workmanship. Every detail carefully thought out and implemented. Our old family heirloom has been given new life and will last for generations to come. Thank you so much!
