I work alone in a small shop in the middle of a Vermont cornfield; (really) making furniture that will be handed down for generations.  Because of this potential legacy, I feel an obligation to produce pieces that will meet this expectation.  This care and personalized attention to detail is very evident in the pieces I make.  The feel of a hand rubbed finish, the selection of wood that matches color variations and grain patterns, the subtle details you don’t always notice at first glance, the interaction of different woods and materials, all combine to enhance the beauty and quality of my work.  I look forward to meeting you and talking about your furniture.

Open by appointment; sometimes by chance.
