His number is 407/ 416-9483.
I took your advice and called him. He replaced the caning on one of my dining room chairs - a perfect match to the others. He also re-caned an antique chair for me. It looks beautiful and I got a real education about its history as well as that of several of the antique chairs he was working on at the time.
John loves his vocation and it shows in his enthusiasm for history and in the work product. He's an interesting person to meet.
