Custom Furniture

Custom, unique furniture for you to love. Everything is one of a kind, bringing a personal flare. I love to use sustainable materials and practices, sourcing from local hardwood mills and domestic species. Scroll down for some examples of my work.

Black Walnut coffee table with maple inserts. This piece really stands out in the room, and is well protected with a colour protecting, water- based clear varathane, which is better for the environment.

Wine cabinet in Walnut. This was one of my earlier projects and remains one of my favorites. It's solid and heavy, but has lots of useful features including a roll out tray below the cupholders for ease of use.

Custom bench in maple, poplar, oak and Cherry. This is one of my favourite designs and I have one very similar in my own mudroom.

Custom built in live edge bench. The bench top is one solid piece of Oak and nearly nine feet long. custom cabinets on both sides give excellent storage. The whole unit is built over an old style cast radiator, which the grates allow the heat through. Lot's of previously unusable empty space now a comfortable corner for reading, growing plants, or whatever else fits your lifestyle.

Corner style china cabinet in cherry. Those are real glass doors custom fit for this piece. I call this a modern look on a classic design.

If you love food, love your kitchen, or love someone who does, then one of these are for you. I usually focus on selling these things at craft shows and the like, but I almost always have a dozen or so available.

I installed this job and wanted to show it off. The mantel and the doors really pop with thise Ambrosia Maple grains.

And... I'm back!

Welcome to my new blog! I'm not much of a writer, but here I am anyway. Who ever heard of a woodworking blog anyway? But I feel like I almost disappeared for a while there. I hope to give a bit of an explanation for that, but mostly I wanna say, "I'm here!" I'm ready to take on your projects and get things done. COVID has been a long haul for many of us, and I'm certainly not excluded. We've had kids home from school, and all of us home sick, not to mention a career change to woodworking. Maybe not the best timing now that I think about it. Looking back in this time I can't help but notice that I've had the great privilege of being in surgery four times since COVID started. Early on I had both of my wrists done to fix Carpel Tunnel. I would love to say that it's fun having someone cut into your hand and promise that they're doing it carefully. Turns out, tt certainly wasn't my favourite experience. But I certainly don't miss the co...
