Furniture Design

Art Fairs

You will find the pieces very traditionally made. All solid wood construction which includes mortise, tenon and pegged joinery. Along with dovetail drawers using aromatic cedar for the drawer bottoms.

The design of the furniture does not start with a plan, it starts with the figure of the wood. He chooses each board using the best figured wood as the top of the table. He incorporates different woods in the pieces i.e. cherry, black walnut, maple, birch, and a few exotics, leopard, zebra and ribbon mahogany just to name a few.

The common pieces that you will see displayed are tall, medium and low splay legged tables, demilunes, side boards, console tables, wall cabinets, Shaker round stands, corner tables, display tables, side tables, sofa/hall tables, and tilt top tables.

Commission Pieces

If you have something specific in mind, he will start with your ideas, sketches and/or photo you may have. He will then draw them to scale for an accurate perspective of how it will look.

The design, type of wood, and all decorative decisions about the comissioned piece is up to you. You might be looking for a piece to serve a special purpose, or create a focus in a room.

He has been asked to replicate an existing example of furniture but in a different size or in a different kind of wood. Perhaps you have a side board that you want made for the foyer or need a table to go with a set of chairs.
