Heron Woodworks

Heron Woodworks I do custom woodwork, antique restoration and repair. I also re-purpose or re-size furniture to fit your space or style.

Take a look at my pictures to see a sample of some of my work. Some of the pictures are before I started and after the project was finished. Use the album to view the pictures and you can see them in order.
