14 years of woodworking,

restoration, craft

2009-present

Every project is unique


No matter how many aesthetic and structural repairs one ​accomplishes, the next will always require a new tactic to ​achieve extraordinary results.


The challenges are th​e opportunity​

To never stop growing ones skillset, never consider oneself ​beyond learning something completely new.


One step

at a time

Initial fa​brication

Starting from concept or ​replicating an existin​g design

processing

Crafting the individual ​components with an eye for the​ entire piece​

final assembly

Assuring unity of style and ​integrity of the whole

The process of each piece from start to finish is relatively ​the same, it’s the specifics that vary widely.

Those specifics are what I enjoy most.
