Furniture, cabinetry, and finish carpentry. Dovetails, dados, and hand-planed surfaces — pieces built to be used daily and admired quietly.
A 10-foot dining table from a single black walnut slab, book-matched and joined with butterfly keys. The base is hand-forged steel by a local blacksmith — one of those collaborations where the materials talk to each other. Finished with tung oil, hand-rubbed to a soft sheen over six coats.
Full kitchen cabinet set in quarter-sawn white oak with hand-cut dovetail drawers. No particle board, no plywood boxes — solid wood throughout. The grain pattern on the doors was selected so the cathedrals run continuous across the bank. Soft-close hardware, because even craft should be practical.
A wall-hung tool cabinet in cherry with 32 custom-fitted compartments for hand planes, chisels, and marking tools. Every tool has a home. The doors are frame-and-panel with a haunched tenon at each corner. This is the piece I look at every morning before starting work.
