Gary refinished my grandmothers China cabinet. He did an excellent job and even added some small details to make it even better. I highly recommend him and his work.

Excellent! I had a relatively small wooden box which had a corner chip in the wood and a non-working door because of it. Gary took a piece of the wood from another location on the box, in order to match it with the overall look, and repaired it and the hinges. It works and looks much better now than it ever has. Gary is an expert craftsman - I do not use the description lightly. Gary is a true craftsman who cares tremendously about his work - regardless of size and detail - and his customers. There are not many true craftsman around! I look forward to using Gary again in the future. I have no reservations in highly recommending him.
Description of Work: Repair the small-door corner section of an antique wooden including its hinges in order for the the door to open and close.
