[Recommendation submitted via e-mail] I would highly recommend Jerry Hatfield with Future Heirlooms down in Leon, Iowa. He has done restoration work on Hoyt Sherman and has a long list of jobs he has done along with pictures. I had him replicate my quarter sawn white oak and birds eye maple doors (pictures on his site) and some large pieces of wood work. A neighbor just had him complete a large project of replicating woodwork and wainscoting and replicating the large wooden frame for the stained glass windows on their stairs.

[Via the RenovateDSM e-mail group] Check out Nu-wall system at http://www.spec-chem.com/nuwal/index.htm. I have used this system to repair our dinning and front parlor ceiling about 10 years ago and it is great. The texture looks like a fine plaster finish when all said and done.
