It is amazing how traditional joinery can add so much strength to furniture. Glue is a minor portion of the joint's strength.

About UsAfter working 30 years as an architect, it came time for a change. A few years ago a work colleague loaned me a copy of the book, “The Soul of a Tree” by George Nakashima and I immediately knew that fine woodworking would become my new joy. The interest in wood follows a tradition of woodworkers with both my father and grand father being accomplished woodworkers. I now see those years of experience as a design architect have served as a training ground for designing my original pieces. The furniture is constructed using traditional joinery and assembly, using solid woods, something not found in today’s mass produced furniture. Joinery includes hand cut dovetails, finger joints, mortise and tenon, wedged through tenons, etc…

Who We Are |
A lot of time is put into matching and mating pieces of wood that make up the product. Furniture designs often incorporates hand carving making the piece truly unique. I prefer to start with original designs and careful detailing with the result becoming a one of a kind heirloom.
