| Most of my work is
inspired by Shaker, Mission and Arts & Crafts furniture, believing
that simple functional furniture crafted with quality materials, integrity
and pride will yield a piece that will be passed down from generation to
generation. All pieces are made of solid hardwoods with cherry, walnut and
figured maples being the woods of choice. I take great pride in the
selection of the wood and the time-consuming placement and matching of the
grains and color. This cumbersome task of hand selecting often allows me to
use boards from the same tree to complete a piece. Traditional joinery is a
major component...mortise and tenon. dovetails, sliding dovetails...joinery
that hasn't changed since the 18th century. No two pieces are alike. While
the dimensions may be identical, the characteristics of the wood are clearly
distinguishable to the eye making each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art.
This sort of identity is what sets my custom built furniture apart from all
others.
