I retired from teaching in 2008 after 31 years in the classroom and am now able to devote all of my time to my one man shop. Exotic woods, traditional joinery such as mortise and tenon and dovetails, and designs with my clients' needs in mind are characteristics of my work. Another characteristic of my work is the use of hand planes and cabinet scrapers for the final finishing of the surface. This is followed with Danish oil because I feel the natural beauty of the wood should be shown. Multiple top coats are hand rubbed into the wood which achieves a low luster and wonderful feel. I welcome you to look at my website to see the variety of work I’ve produced through the years. With my clients' input my work is truly “one of a kind”. In addition to custom furniture I’ve also done a number of exterior gates and arbors, fireplace mantels, and built-ins to re-purpose the media niches which were so popular in homes ten years ago. Since my wife is an artist I also do custom framing using exotic woods or basswood which is usually carved and gilded. My satisfaction comes from giving my clients exactly what they need and their input is a valued part of my design process. My goal is for my work to exceed your expectations.
