Here's where you come to follow the progress of your piece of furniture in the shop. No, wood doesn't talk--or does it? Sure it does! As we work on your piece we learn things about where it's been, how it's been used, maybe even who (or what) has used it, and often about where it came from originally. It's a lot of fun and typically quite interesting.

This space also gives us a chance to let you know about any special experiences or progress related challenges. We try to chronicle work completed on your furniture whenever anything significant occurs. So there may not be an entry every day, but when we document them, we hope you will find these journal entries are fun, informative, purposeful, and creative.

So, have fun "listening" to our dialogue with your piece, as it is, it's Wood Talkin.

Update: Lane and Boudoire

Well.... are these beauties or what? Take a look at them now. For the table, we fabricated a new drawer, a perimeter decorum strip, and a new brace system for those beautiful legs. She struts; a beautiful lady with a fresh new look....and a new lease on life. Can you say, CONFIDENCE?

The Lane chest glows with a new pride and fresh enthusiasm. We sensitively refreshed her exterior with lacquer, touched up her bumps and besides, filled in some lost veneer, and repaired the chest's withdrawing shelf and lid. Ahhh...smell that wonderful cedar aroma---unmistakable. She's good to go for another 70 years!
"Listen to the wood"...it's our favorite phrase. 

That's Wood Talkin for today. Do you listen?
