Every day I wake up and am full of energy. I cannot wait to get to the shop and build my current work. Much of the excitement is about watching the furniture come to life. Watching the design emerge from an idea to a drawing to a finished piece is thrilling.

An instrumental part in building exciting furniture is in finding extraordinary & unique wood. This is a favorite part of my job - treasure hunter. I spend much of my time at the start of a project hand picking lumber to find the right grain for your piece. Most furniture is made of readily available material. The furniture that comes from my shop is made of treasured wood.

My goal is to create beautiful and functional works of art. I can credit myself for the function, because this is part of good design, but beauty only partly. Some of the beauty is in the simplicity of my design. Most of the beauty is already in the wood. The aim is to build furniture that you will treasure more and more as time passes. Since you live with these pieces, I am very careful and considerate to your needs.

Not only should my furniture attract the viewer from across the room but it should also be lasting in its design genre as well as structural integrity. How long is lasting? Long past many generations to follow you and I. Much of the things we buy today are expendable or faddish and in most circumstances, we do not expect them to last very long. Each of my pieces is built with traditional joinery & finish techniques found in the finest antiques built centuries ago still in use today. Drawers are dovetailed, cases are assembled with mortise & tenon joints, all of the work is hand polished and finished with five to eight coats of oil. This is a very lasting but labor intensive process. The result is a very strong beautiful piece displaying the wood grain without a plastic look. This finish process is also the most user friendly. The maintenance is simple and is the easiest to repair if damaged.

There is nothing more pleasing than purchasing a hand crafted work of art for your home or office. It is a wonderful feeling to live with furniture that has a life of its own and to experience its joy repeatedly. Let me know what I should carve my name in for you.
