DownEastWoodArt's website pictures a five-drawer multi-wood chest of drawers that the maker says was made for his own daughter. A 2025 customer said Jim replaced a broken runner on an antique rocker that had been in their family a long time, and that it was a perfect match. That 2025 customer said Jim explained that because the grain in the wood followed the curve of the rocker, the chair was stronger. A 2025 customer said their 50-year-old table had suffered water damage from houseplants, and that Jim smoothed the damage and refinished it. In a 2025 review, a customer said a personal woodwork item had been broken for a long time and that he figured out quickly how to make it work again. A 2025 customer called Jim responsive and helpful and said he helped out in a pinch. A 2026 customer recommended Jim for woodworking questions and projects.
Jim is very kind and talented wood worker who is a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend him for any of your woodworking questions and projects.
Our 50 yo table suffered water damage from houseplants. Jim did a fine job smoothing the damage and refinishing.
What a pleasant experience! Jim was responsive, helpful and skilled. He helped me out in a pinch, much appreciated!
Jim replaced a broken runner on an antique rocker. It was a perfect match, and as he explained, because the grain in the wood followed the curve of the rocker, the chair was stronger. This rocker has been in my family a long time so has great sentimental value. The fact that Jim agreed to do what for him was a minor repair and do it so devotedly is doubly appreciated.
Jim was very helpful in solving our problem. We have a very personal woodwork item that has been broken for a long time and he figured out quickly how the make it work again. His other woodwork projects are very impressive.
