  • “Your work is outstanding, and we will always recommend you to those who are in need of excellent restoration or new woodwork of old designs. We are very pleased with the work you did for us, particularly, the restoration of our George III mahogany dining table which you were able to bring back to its original finish. This table has become a great asset for us. Also, we are very much impressed with the special table you designed for us to support our Regency tray."

  • "This letter is an expression of thanks once again for your professional assistance in verifying that the Empire Period "antique" cabinet we purchased from a well-known dealer in London was, in fact, not an antique at all, but a well disguised "fake". We were fortunate indeed to have your expert inspection and report which made it possible to obtain a $12.000 refund from the dealer. Thanks again for your help."

    — R. Paul Sprague

  • "Willy, you really have magical hands. Your eye is superb. The piece is quite beautiful. I keep finding myself going into the foyer and just looking and smiling. You are a master craftsman, and maybe a genius too."

  • "Willy and Harry, many thanks for your great work in reconstructing my husband's shoemaker's stool. We are so pleased to have it home again with the memories of grandfather Scott."
