I am looking for Lebron stretchers. Does anyone know where I can purchase them and how much they should be. (72"x94" and 84"x84". 4 of each)

Thanks

Not too many people do the Lebron stretchers as they tend to be a little bit more difficult to build. This is a shop I worked at in DC. They do these for many museums as well as thier customers.

I would talk to Kate or Bill if they are still there. I have not been in contact in a while.

Very good professional people.
 
You could go to the source...Jimmy LeBron's studio and shop in New York. Jimmy is no longer with us but I believe his business is still alive and well.

I have their phone number at work and will post it tomorrow if you're still interested.

Had to go in anyway (718) 274-0532

Bill Butler is a great guy and has an amazing shop without him I do not think I could do this job. I only wish the wife was not transferred as I would be at his shop working until he got tired of me.

The name of his shop is Archival Art Services, INC. The workplace is located in Adams Morgan, DC. I forget where the beautiful show room is located. I want to say 14th Street NW in the building that houses Hemphill Fine Arts. Bill's shop works on many high end jobs for museums, curators, collectors, artists, and travelling exhibits.

I was very fortunate to have some great bosses, like Bill, Tim Hayes and Michele Newman. All great people, completely different shops.

When I get to DC I have to stop back and see the crew. Until then hide the picture of me in the chicken suit. I know that will be black mail one day.
