Hi, I'm Rick and I have been refinishing, designing, and building furniture for close to 50 years. My journey began when I met a master refinisher who showed me the ropes, and it sparked a creative path for me in which I've never looked back. I find immense joy in beginning with something that is ragged, worn down, and sometimes hopeless, and taking it through the beautification process of restoration. My specialty is my trademark wet-sanding, which I invented during my years as a machinist. This technique of wet-sanding danish oil for the finish, carefully but expertly locks into the wood, providing a superior look. 

I also enjoy building design-as-you go, primitive and folk furniture. I also have extensive experience refinishing antiques and family heirlooms.
