Who Cares About Nerdy Wood Things?
We do!

Fine by us.
Not everyone needs to know why wood shimmers. Some people just want a chair that doesn’t wobble and cane that isn’t falling out of the seat. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Refinishing
Strip, repair, and restore. We bring old wood back to a finish it deserves — without erasing what makes it old.
Caning + Weaving
Hand caning, Danish cord, fibre rush, wicker repair. If the seat is the problem, we’ve probably fixed one just like it.
Two women who care a lot about wood
We’re Leigh and Carrie, and we run Lessons of Things out of a working studio in Grandview Heights. You don’t have to care about chatoyancy or grain direction or any of it — that’s our job. Yours is just to bring us the piece.
Every piece leaves better than it came in. That’s the whole promise.

A few photos and a sentence or two is plenty to start.
