Skilled joiner/ cabinet maker wanted: Calabasas, California

Postby Mike G » 21 Nov 2017, 08:51

On another forum I belong to someone has posted about a forthcoming major renovation project in Calabasas, California, which involves not only the historic building, but then custom made furniture as well.

Does anyone here (KIrk, I'm looking at you!!) have any suggestions for how these people might set about finding someone suitably skilled, and, indeed, does anyone know anyone working in that area who might be worth approaching? I've asked for more details, but at the moment I don't know any more than what I've already said. In due course I should be able to link to some photos and so on.

I might know somebody in the area. Let me see where Calabasas is and find out who on the OWWM list is close.

If you want to PM me a few details (type/date of house, etc) that might help.

Ah, that’s why it sounded familiar. We used to drive past there when going to my grandparents house back in the 60’s.

Thanks Kirk.

I don't have anything else at the moment, but I've asked for more information. I'll let you know if anything is forthcoming.
