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. **Strengths:** - Antique rocker repair — a 2025 customer said the new runner matched perfectly - A table refinish — a 2025 customer said water damage was smoothed and refinished - A quick fix — a 2025 customer said he quickly made a broken item work ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - A 2025 customer said Jim replaced a broken runner on an antique rocker _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25oMk1tRk1TbmxuYTJaeVpISjNabUpITW5OWmJHYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x6710535e1ccf1860!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnh2MmFMSnlna2ZyZHJ3ZmJHMnNZbGc%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Jim replaced a broken runner on an antique rocker.
