Wooden furniture repair

[librarybrandy.livejournal.com]

I have a wooden rocker that desperately needs repair from someone who knows what they're doing with this sort of thing, since it likely needs to be taken apart completely and put back together in the right order, possibly with a few replacement pieces of wood cut.  Unfortunately, I've had some trouble finding someone who can do it, and I'd really like to get this fixed before yet another year goes by.

Photos of the damage are here, in case someone thinks they can do it and wants to know what they're getting into.  Barring that, ideas of area places that could, ideally, pick the chair up, fix it, and return it are welcome.  Thanks for any help you can be!

Perhaps The Caning Shoppe (http://www.caningshoppe.com/) on Elm?

my first thought. and if not them, I bet they'd know who does that sort of work.

This was also a thought of mine.

Their sign out front said something about "wicker furniture repair," so I hadn't considered them--since the chair in question is more of that 1970s heavy wood, the size of an overstuffed armchair without the upholstery. Do they actually repair other types of furniture too?

If they don't, they'd know who does.

try Rockler on Mass Ave. It's a woodworkers store. My wife brought in a child's rocker to The Caning Store for some repairs and they took longer to fix it than promised and also made the problem worse.

Do they do repairs, or would they just have a suggestion of someone who might? (I'll take any lead at this point; I'm just wondering.)

There was a guy at Rockler who was able to make the repairs. It was a while ago, so I can't remember his name, but I think it's worth a visit/call.

Sunshine Lucy's on Holland (the new place in the old Chinook storefront) advertises furniture repair, including delivery etc.
