At
Hawk Ridge Furniture (tradename for furnituremaker Paul R. Donio),
my work balances the traditional values of early American design
with contemporary style and function. I have admired early New England
furniture and architecture for nearly a quarter of a century. The
simplicity of design, attention to balance and proportion, choice
of materials, and unquestionable integrity of construction has always
struck a chord in my heart. It is these values that I celebrate
in every piece of furniture made here at Hawk Ridge.
Each
piece is individually crafted using traditional joinery that has
withstood the test of time. Dovetail, mortise-and-tenon, and pegged
joinery add strength and simplicity. I work with solid hardwoods
of local and exotic origin, and apply hand-rubbed oil finishes to
bring out each wood's natural beauty.
Hawk
Ridge Furniture provides discriminating design and craftsmanship
for clients throughout New England and beyond. Whether your preference
is Shaker or Buddhist, Queen Anne or Frank Lloyd Wright, I will
work with you to create a piece that expresses your style using
the appropriate design, materials, and construction. Your piece
will last for generations.
From
rural vernacular to formal period furniture, I strive to create
a balance between the unique character of the selected wood and
the elements of design. The following images are just a sampling
of the range of pieces that are available—please visit my
website for additional information. I also invite you to call
or email
me regarding your furniture needs. The Hawk Ridge Furniture
workshop is located next to my home in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
Visitors welcomed—by appointment please.
