TaleWeavers, Antique Chair & Wicker Furniture Repair
Chair Caning / Restoration
We repair antiques: antique chair caning, antique wicker furniture. Antiques repair is our work; chair caning and wicker furniture repair, our specialty. The restoration process involved for an antique chair or rocker may include hand refinishing, replacement of chair parts, and the reweaving of a chair seat. Reweaving may include strand or web caning, fiber rush, Danish cord, Shaker tape, and flat reed or splint seat weaving.
We also repair and restore antique wicker furniture. Wicker is made with a natural material or twisted paper and over time the wicker reed may break down. We replace individual weavers and spokes on any wicker chair, chaise, setee, swing, or rocker. We can restore entire sections of wicker that may have broken. Wicker holds a special place in many homes.
We bring the history of an era, a craftsman, and a family to renewed meaning.

Collide-O-Scope Edutainment
Collide-O-Scope Edutainment is a family-run business that seeks to blend three areas of human life into new ways to learn, grow, and have fun. Through playing games and completing activities, children of all ages (yes, this includes people past 112--we don't like to leave people out as some companies end up doing) experience a blend of Faith, Education, and Fun! In each of our games, we try to make sure that at least one of those three standards is being met—whether a game is fun and educational, faith-based and educational, fun and faith-based, or whatever combination, at least two of the three must be met. We pull from the past, look at the present, and plan for the future. This is where faith, education, and fun collide.
