Custom Furniture

Maryville, Tennessee

There is much to be said for the simple elegance of the Arts & Crafts, or Mission style of furniture especially when made of quarter-sawn white oak with a finish that highlights the ray flecks in the grain. Another style that I prefer is Shaker, which is also simple in design. Black walnut and cherry with Danish oil finishes are my favorites for Shaker pieces. If you prefer other styles, I can usually accommodate those as well. If you have a need that does not fit my skills, I have a great network in the East Tennessee Woodworker's Guild and can probably connect you with another craftsman.

Examples of my work:

I would appreciate the opportunity to work with you to provide you with your custom furniture needs. You may contact me at any time to discuss the details of your requirements. Please click Getting Started to learn more about the process of ordering custom furniture.

I can ship my furniture anywhere however, shipping costs may be a significant consideration for larger pieces. If you are in the reasonable vicinity, you may consider picking up your furniture.

I do not have any interest in producing bargain furniture. It is impossible to compete with large factories using composite materials. My skills lie in producing heirloom quality furniture from the best grades of lumber. The material costs alone can be significant. The skills required to turn rough-sawn lumber in to quality pieces are my pride.
