About Michael |
| For the past 36 years, Michael's career has evolved from woodworker, to furniture designer, to antique restorer. Starting in a one-car garage at 13, he began to teach himself the craft of woodworking. At 23, he co-owned a custom woodworking business, where he honed his skills to design, build, finish, and install fine furniture. After 15 successful years, he broke off on his own to expand his skills and delve into the finer arts of antique restoration and studio furniture making. His experience as a furniture maker and designer make him quite unique as a restorer. He is competent to handle all phases of repair and restoration, and with his attention to detail, he is able to reproduce any piece of furniture in any style with great accuracy. He is frequently called upon by other restorers to work on major restoration, repair, custom, and modification projects. He also works as a consultant to assess furniture damage for insurance claims. His other interests in the arts make him a restless soul. As you can see in his studio furniture, Michael is a sculptor at heart. However, it does not stop there. He also has a great passion for oil painting. With time being limited, he manages to produce only a few paintings a year, and is now starting to accept commissions for portraits. |
