The bulk of my catalog consists of Shaker-inspired pieces. I make very useful furniture that customers take pride in owning and pleasure in using. The techniques and craftsmanship should provide you, the customer a piece that can be shared for generations. All pieces are created by me, by hand from start to finish. I design the piece, hand select the wood, determine joinery, and finish. The great majority of wood selection is cherry from western Pennsylvania but may also come more locally (to my shop) from Indiana or Wisconsin. I will also use ash, walnut, and at times pine and maple depending upon the piece. All pieces are finished with boiled linseed oil followed by several coats of fine paste wax. The cherry will darken with age if exposed to sunlight. If you do not see the specific piece you're looking for - just ask and we'll see what can be done. Enjoy your selections!
