"Austin has been an immeasurably valuable resource for us when we have needed furniture repair or refinishing. He is an expert finisher working in many mediums and materials - wood stains, painted finishes, lacquers, gilded leaf finishes, and he is a master of the ancient art of chinoiserie. We have yet to challenge him with a task he could not master! The designers and clients we have referred him to agree he is a rare talent and a pleasure to work with."
