Hickman Woodworks

These projects have been sitting around for years.  While talking to a friend, i mentioned I needed this done by a craftsman who appreciated old wood and the friend gave me Mike's name.  
Mike came when he said he would and left the work area spotless, complete with picking up every little piece of wood.  He's a true craftsman, matching grain, fitting corners, etc.  He charges by the hour and I got my money's worth; he never sat down unless he was showing me an idea or problem.  I am thrilled with the results and wish I had found him years ago.  
As soon as I get more money, I'll be calling him; I have dozens of projects that require his talents.

It went great. He seemed to love the old wood and took the trouble to match grains when he could and made several suggestions I hadn't thought of, like an 8 inch trim at the top of the big closet. He even helped me sand boards when I got behind. Everything took longer than he thought because of the irregular shapes and he didn't charge me extra. He arrived when he said he would, cleaned up any mess, even picking small pieces of trim in the yard, and was a very pleasant person. He gave me some ideas to solve some other problem areas I have. Next week he's going to frame and put a door in a strange storage area we have under the stairs. My only regret is I don't have tons of money so I could hire him for about a year!
