About
I've been a custom furniture maker for going on 35 years mainly doing commission based work. Over those years I've amassed a library of designs using a wide range of materials that I have condensed down to a build to order line. In addition to my line of furniture and accessories I also provide project management services, design and production consultation to other makers. I am also slowly building a teaching curriculum for advanced woodworking techniques.
