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.

Specializing in simple or elaborate refinishing to preserve your family heirlooms and antiques.
I learned an important lesson years ago as an apprentice repair and furniture technician in the Northwest : People generally have an emotional attachment to their furniture. In the "Wood Talkin" Shop, that attachment will always be appreciated and respected.
The furniture repair and refinishing effort is both a science and an art. It "discovers" a character and takes on a personality of its own. The discovery process informs the repair and refinishing activities that proceed from it.
...Discovery begins in good, ongoing communication with our customers: what do they want, need, and what do they expect of us and of the outcome?
...The work begins with our developing a familiarity with the piece, its creation or manufacture, its function and its history--maybe some revelations our customer does not even know.
...The work proceeds collaboratively toward a predetermined outcome based on the information gathered from the customer, the piece, and its available history.
...The work progresses in a stream of "dialogue" with the piece. It's a dialogue that we anticipate and respect.
...A celebration reunites our customer with the refinished piece. It punctuates our success and anticipates our customer's long-term satisfaction.
At "Wood Talkin" we know it is a privilege to serve our customers. Consequently, we unconditionally guarantee that the work we do meets or exceeds industry standards. If you are not satisfied with the quality of some process, material, or service we have provided, we will make every reasonable, collaborative effort to retain your confidence, ally your trust, and realize your satisfaction.

About The Journalist
- Richard
- I grew up in the green Pacific Northwest. I launched my career path as an engineer focused on the construction trades. That path has then meandered professionally through construction and engineering, religious studies and collegiate ministry, family life, and then professional training and experience in clinical counseling. Interestingly, all these roles have been "painted" over a creative backdrop of wood and fine art. Presently I am a reluctant transplant from the Pacific Northwest to the front range of Colorado where I have been a Christian ministry director, veteran counselor, administrator, and a maturing artisan.
