After 30 years with the IBM Corporation, Bill Robillard retired and
launched Encore Restorations
in 2008.  Bill's career at IBM taught him
the value of a solid education as well as the need to keep learning.   
Bill
is a graduate of the National Institute of Wood Finishing,  and an
accomplished student of t
he Marc Adam's School of Woodworking .   Bill
continues his education with
on-going workshops  in museum based
procedures  led  by a lead
Smithsonian conservator.   Bill also holds
degree's in Mechanical and Electrical engineering.   


" I believe that quality education is the key to proper conservation and
restoration practices.
My company will conserve, repair, or restore
your piece in accordance with the guidelines of the AIC (American
Institute for Conservation of Historic & Artistic Works).  We proudly
conserve, repair, or restore artifacts
and  furniture, using techniques
and training that have taken years to acquire.
"

We are a family oriented business.  Robert Robillard  
began formal
woodworking education at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking in
2007.Robert has since began his shop apprenticeship at Encore in
2008.
 Robert specializes in wooden inlays and marquetry.
