I
came
to furniture making through a love of working with wood;
everything from cutting firewood to slicing fine shavings
with a hand plane was enjoyable to me as a teenager. I still
find each phase of furniture making fascinating, from designing
new pieces to picking trees that will yield exceptional
lumber, to milling and hand working each piece of furniture
that lumber yields. I work primarily with native hardwood,
much of which I have harvested myself.
I
am committed to the notion that for furniture to be of lasting
value to its owners it must be not only well crafted of
carefully selected wood, but it must fit its surroundings
and the taste of its owner. For this reason, I work closely
with clients in the design of each commissioned piece I
build.
The
pieces shown below have been sold. I picture them here as
examples of my design sense, and to show some of the variety
in my work. I enjoy designing and building pieces in a wide
range of styles, from refined to free form. I have created
pieces as diverse as European style cabinets to live edge
coffee tables. I would be happy to build similar pieces
or to discuss your ideas for a commissioned piece.
