Brought Ron a 200 year old family heirloom in pretty rough shape, could not be happier with the job he did bringing it back to life. Sourced some intricate hardware, knew a ‘leather guy’ to replace embossed leather inlay, and had a great sense of what to work on and what to leave a bit ‘scruffy’. Thank you.

Ron restored a broken, mispainted, scratched, and dull coffee table to its original glory. I had Ron do this as a gift to my sweetheart. Her response? "It's reborn!" I cannot recommend Ron's work more highly.

Just blown away by the amazing service and skills that Ron brings to his customers. My grandfathers desk was in rough shape and Ron brought it back to life, better than ever! Pictures do not do it justice (before pic included for reference). I would confidently recommend Ron to anyone.

I picked up an antique oak office chair through a community Facebook group. It was solid, but needed some TLC. The varnish on the armrests was worn and had that sticky/tacky feeling. the mechanics of the chair (tilt/change height) were gungy. The wheels were squeaky. And there was a split in the seat. Ron took care of all of that. The chair is gorgeous now, as you can see in the photo. He kept the colour. There is only a light seal to it which makes the wood feel soft to the touch. He used a tiny piece of wood to fill the gap in seat. The wheels and the mechanics were all taken apart and cleaned. I'm so happy with his work!

Ron restored a rough shape Victorian era dining room table for us. He meticulous returned the table to it’s former glory one detail at a time. We are extremely happy with the end product of the table. Ron is most definitely a master of his craft and I would recommend his services to anyone in need.
