Kirk was excellent to work with and also helped us find someone for the fabric side of the project. He was easy to stay in touch with and hit all the time requirements needed. A fair price too!
Description of Work: We needed some woodwork done on an antique couch.

Fabulous work!! These are four vintage 1920's chairs; dark cherry with hand woven cane seats that I wanted to preserve. The weaving was perfectly done. They were all very wobbly; we were afraid to sit in them. They even repaired some dog chew scratches on the leg. They re-glued them; they are now solid and for a reasonable price. We have two other chairs and the caning is OK. But as soon as they show signs of wear; they are going to Early American Workshop.
Description of Work: Hand caned and re-glued four antique dining room chairs.

Kurt did the job very well. It is so nice to have our chair back in our home and looking as good as it did many years ago.
Description of Work: Kurt replaced the caning on the seat of our antique chair that had broken through.
