I offer many other services, including:

Contact me if you have any questions about other services you may require. If I can't do it for you, chances are that I know the best person who can.

 

Carving

Carved pieces are also available. From small plaques to carved ornamentation, hand carved detail can enrich the appearance and character of many pieces.

Here is one example of how a hand carved mahogany piece accentuates the beauty of a welcome plaque.

     
A simple hand carved shelf support provides elegance and strength.

Upholstery

Many chairs in need of structural or finish repair often need the upholstery replaced as well. I am happy to provide that service as well as replace springs, stuffing, etc. If you want your couch upholstered, I'm not the guy. I do have a working relationship with a local professional upholsterer and will be happy to refer you to them for your larger items. He does fabulous work.

 

Specialty Items

From time to time, I get requests for specific items that don't really fit into any of the normal categories.

Shelves

The shelf pictured below was made for a customer who wanted a shelf that followed the contours of her oven range top, provided ample space for spices, etc., and blended in with the style of her kitchen.

Oven Range Shelf
The result was a "piano finish" black lacquer shelf that straddled the top of the oven - following the curves and contours exactly. I also included a stainless steel backing so the shelf would appear as an extension of the range itself.

Display Items

These display plaques were made for the Marine base here in New Orleans. The larger plaque holds 13 8x10 photos, each with an engraved brass plate describing their award. The smaller plaque has both a photo frame and letter frame for displaying the Color Sergeant honor and letter. Both feature a hand carved display of their local base logo.

 
 
 
 
 

Custom Finish Mixing

If you'd like to tackle your own finish project, I can help you. I've seen a lot of people staring at the shelves of stains and topcoats at the local home center wondering what will be right for their project. Most of the time, the finish samples provided at the displays are not accurate and results can vary widely.

Whether you're refinishing an old piece of furniture or trying to match your new trim to the rest of the house, I can custom mix the right finish for you. I'll be happy to make recommendations to assist you in choosing the right topcoat finishes for your application. In fact, I can mix or provide those for you, too.
