He is involved in every facet of building, from sustainably harvesting the wood to finished product.
Although other wood is available upon request, birch is most often used as it is locally available and lends itself well to the traditional art of chair-making. The trees are selected with a specific piece in mind. Thus, "every chair has a story." In fact the story could begin with you. If there is a tree on your property that needs to be removed why not contact SilverTree to see if it can't be turned into something that will live on.
David enjoys designing and building custom furniture either based on the classic Shaker style or uniquely his own.
