Not so long before my Dad, Norman John, died last year I yearned to learn from him one last thing, the fine art of French Polishing...through it we spent some cherished time.
"N.J.Martin & Son" involves work that relates to what my father and I do. In particular frames out of old wood and some small pieces of furniture. (pics are coming soon)
