Manthey Furniture Refinishing

A few months ago my boyfriend had brought my late grandfather's humidor (wooden, copper lined smokers stand), in horrible condition, to see if anything could be done with it. It had been subjected to the elements and the top warped and split, literally in half. Mr. Carl Manthey was a very honest and told us that he didn't think the original wood could be saved, but he would try and if not, replace it with another piece. Mr. Manthey communicated with us weekly on the progress and sent us pictures of the humidor, through the different steps he was taking to restore it. I don't know how he managed but he saved the top! This man works magic and I HIGHLY recommend.

Carl repaired a hall tree for me that has been cracked into pieces and shredded by cat claws. He is a wood working artist, not just a refinisher! He cracked the piece apart and glued it it together with all kinds of supports the right way sending me pics of his work along the way! It's stronger now then when it was made 140 years ago. He is a perfectionist. I hate to let the word out, and share him! A truly gifted man, a rare find!

I had an antique side table with a broken leg. Mr Manthey put it back together and gave a clean look to the Mohaginy finish and personal touch. The turn around time was better than expected. I would highly recommend him and his work!

Never got back to me.
