I am beyond thrilled with the repair and restoration of my bomba drum. This traditional Puerto Rican drum, crafted from an oak rum barrel, was treated with such care, skill, and respect for its cultural significance. Lukas was very professional, and with his craftsmanship he was able to bring life to the instrument again. The wood looks revitalized, and the drum is now beautifully resonant and ready to make music. Thank you for bringing this instrument back to life. Your work honors our heritage, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommended! 🇵🇷

We took our koa table, a family airloom to Lukas and he transformed it. We are amazed at his craftsmanship. He takes tremendous pride in his work and we are thrilled. He is professional, kind, and wonderful to work with...so happy we found him! His price was also reasonable.

Lucas Cermac did a fantastic job repairing my daughter’s canopy bed frame. The frame is 40 years old and was in such bad shape, I I did not think it could ever be repaired. I was about to throw it away when at the last minute I heard about Lukas and decided to give him a try in repairing it. He not only repaired it, he made it stronger and better than new. And more, he repaired it ahead of schedule. Lukas is easy to talk with, friendly, and professional. My daughter loves her canopy bed. I highly recommend Lukas to anyone. Joe McDaniel

Excellent repair work. Lukas is a true craftsman, the kind that one rarely encounters these days. He is knowledgeable, approachable, and loves his work. He took a badly broken MCM chair and performed a small miracle on it. His meticulous attention to detail and concern for the aesthetics of the piece were truly impressive. I did not know anything about bLue xYlem before chancing on the website; I am now happy to recommend it (and Lukas) without reservation. He gave me a clear, fair estimate and time frame at the outset and he even sent in-process photos so I could watch the stages of the repair. Mahalo.

Vendor Recommendation: Lukas and Blue Xylem I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Lukas and Blue Xylem. Without hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone in need of a true furniture repair expert. Over the course of 35 years of military moves—and the inevitable furniture repairs that come with them—I have never encountered a craftsman of Lukas' caliber. His work is simply the best I have seen. Lukas brings an extraordinary wealth of European expertise in furniture repair, restoration, design, and craftsmanship. His ability to tackle any furniture-related task is unmatched. During his work for us, Lukas repaired a broken drawer on our dresser, restored dents and razor cuts caused by packer damage on our dining room table, and most impressively, repurposed our antique German china cabinet to custom-fit our home. The transformation of our 12-foot-long cabinet to a more compact 6' long cabinet was nothing short of remarkable. Lukas masterfully redesigned the piece, ensuring complete structural integrity while seamlessly integrating the finest elements of our hand-carved German antique. His ideas and recommendations were innovative, and his attention to detail in repairing, color-matching, and modifying the cabinet resulted in a truly unique, one-of-a-kind family heirloom. Lukas' craftsmanship is second to none, and his pricing is more competitive than other island carpenters who quoted our work. His dedication, skill, and passion for his craft are evident in every project he undertakes. If you are looking for a furniture repairman who combines artistry with precision, Lukas is the one to call. You will not be disappointed with this exceptional craftsman.
