That's cool. I knew someone locally who had apprenticed to an older craftsman...he was going out of business b/c it was too uncommon to make a living anymore, and she was picking it up as more of an antique refinishing hobby than a business per se...she did projects for others, but more to pay for her supplies than to make a sustainable income.
They were the last in the area as far I know.
