I’m always up for a challenge, and I accepted this one enthusiastically. I admit to the slightest bit of trepidation as I made the first cut, but after that I was in my element. It was a beautiful bed, and also had sentimental value, and I was happy to be able to transform it into a smaller version of its former self to be enjoyed for years to come.

I was delighted with the end result (and I’m pleased to report that my client was too) – particularly the fact that you can’t see where the pieces were joined back together. Just another project that confirms for me I’m in the right business.
