I am a traditional furniture maker. Through my formal training as a furniture maker, I am able to build any piece of furniture, whether it is a reproduction or a custom designed piece. This training has allowed me to develop the skills to create family heirlooms that will last for generations.

Each piece is made by me, one at a time, and is built to the highest quality standards. There is an emphasis on hand work in my furniture, and I specialize in building pieces that require turning, carving, and inlay. My furniture is built using traditional methods of joinery, including hand cut dovetails and mortise and tenon. I select the solid wood for each piece of furniture, carefully matching the grain, the color, and the figure of the wood. I finish each piece with a hand rubbed oil finish or a shellac finish.
