Handmade furniture, one piece at a time, has been a staple of our Work for 50 years. Tables, chairs, 18th Century or Greene and Greene - all styles, all authentic designs, with the appropriate materials, joinery, and final effect. We know how to go about getting the proportions right, the moldings correct…..the presence of the piece is what comes thru after including all the details. Whether we use machines to make the curved bracket crest, or a spokeshave and compass to finesse the curves in a recurved bonnet.

We had made some doors for a client outside of New York City. Some for his house and then a few for a cabin in the North. Then he contacted me a year later with an intriguing project - a kitchen.

We have all heard it before. We may have said it before. A general lament on the sad state of affairs brought about by something broken or wrong. Then as we try to find someone to fix it, just after we are told it is disposable, we will utter something that relates to the dearth of craftspeople that can fix things. Fix them with their hands and tools, not Amazon.
