Andrew Wax
The New Face of Wood and Leather Doctor:
I am Carcyn Ketner, new owner of Wood and Leather Doctor. I have worked with Andrew since 2016, beginning as an upholsterer and leather technician. With a background in art, and a passion for learning, I quickly gained the skills needed to work on cosmetic wood repair, and later, larger structural projects. In pursuit of honing the craft, I have taken classes and workshops in wood working, carpentry, wood finishing and furniture building. Over the last 9 years, I have learned much from Andrew, other teachers, and practical experience in the field. I am eager to continue the wonderful tradition that the Wax family began, with high quality repairs, reasonable prices and excellent customer service. I look forward to earning your trust as I take over the Wood and Leather Doctor business.
The Story of Wood and Leather Doctor:
Having grown up at my father’s furniture store, I worked there through college and ten years after. When Dad starting having trouble getting our elderly cabinet maker to come in to do our touch up and repairs, he asked (ok, told) me to take a class in furniture repair and touch up techniques by one of the companies that makes many of the specialty products that I use today. After having a lot of furniture upon which to practice and many years to master the various techniques to hide damage from the eye and create strong, lasting repairs, I branched out on my own after the store closed in 2001 and started the Wood and Leather Doctor. Since 2001, I have made hundreds of new friends delighted with their furniture and cabinetry once again, despite the best efforts from their children, pets, relatives, and others who have accidentally dinged, dented, scratched, broken, and torn their favorite items. I promise to help you fall in love with your furniture once again and earn your business every time. Andrew Wax
