Even after many years at his craft, George gains great satisfaction in restoring old chairs, which sadly have seen better days and bringing them back to life again.
The chairs he buys to restore and sell are usually bought at auctions, and the cane comes from the rattan vine which grows in the Malaysian rain forests.
There are various weave designs, but he usually keeps to the popular and strongest, the six way weave, unless a customer requires an alternative.
