I am a craftsman working in Massachusetts, using traditional techniques and materials to make furniture that will last to be enjoyed for many years to come. Fully customizable, I will work with you to make sure you get the exact piece of furniture that you want. From wood selection to fit and finish, custom furniture can elevate your living space.
Wooden furniture brings life to a space.

You can see where the light reflecting off the cherry imbues the maple with its hue. This picture demonstrates how wooden products can make a space feel calmer.

Wood experiences time, just like anything else. After years of use, it begins to show its age. Notice the lighter spots, where books protected this cherry bookcase from the sun’s radiation. All wood changes color when exposed to light, though cherry is particularly sensitive.
Live edge purpleheart wood. The dark fuchsia color is heartwood, the light blonde is sapwood. The black dots and lines are holes left by some kind of boring insect.
Trees grow in their outer layers, the sapwood. This sapwood is what carries nutrients up the tree, while the older heartwood provides the structure. Traditionally, sapwood is removed as it looks very different from heartwood, is softer, and harbors insects. Furniture wood is treated in a kiln, kept at 140 degrees for weeks in order to dry out the wood and kill any remaining bugs. This means that sapwood “live edge” can be retained to give a piece a unique look.
