All we had to do was measure up and reproduce! In the end, she was amazed at how 'exact' our reproduction of the cabinet was. We simply said thank you.Tim B.

In the 1980's, a lady brought an ornate sideboard into our shop. It was missing two curved front drawers. She asked if we could reproduce them to make the cabinet whole again. It turned out she and her sister were in an inheritance war, and the sister had confiscated the two missing drawers. We obliged and she was pleased. What next? A lady showed up at the shop with two drawers and asked if we could reproduce a sideboard that they would fit into. She had pictures of the original, she said, and could we do it? Of course we could! We had a strong ethic of client privacy, and we always wondered if the two ever spoke or knew that each had ended up with a 'partially' reproduced sideboard from their Mom. Stories from long ago....Tim B.
