Curly Sycamore Desk
This desk is a unique combination of curved architectural elements and cantilevers. Hand crafted from Curly Sycamore (mostly found in England and a close relative of the maple family) and Cocobolo (a South American rosewood), the effect of the desk in the room is stunning. Made for a client with a desire for a highly contrasting focal point in a room Designed for contemporary use, the spacing is appropriate for digital media and laptop storage. The cantilevered top is capable of holding more than a hundred pounds of books. Eye-catching veneers and contrasting combinations of woods are integral to much of my work.

For round extendable dining room table with pedestal leg5.0Richard Oedel of Fort Point Cabinetmakers was so helpful, professional, and creative throughout our design process of making a dining room table. Very professional drawings were presented; friendly and timely communication over the phone, email, and in person to take measurements and see our space; through attention to details and consideration to our project restrictions, preferences, and style. Very appreciative of our positive experience -- and would highly recommend as Richard has a sincere interest in completing a project to the exact customer's preference and specifications.

For Custom Oak Benches (2)5.0From the start, Richard Oedel of Fort Point Cabinetmakers was more than helpful and insightful. Because he was making matching benches for my dining table and my table was so large, he drove 60 miles each way to see it in person, take measurements and pictures to discern the right look. Drawings were presented, a budget was agreed upon and not only was the project delivered on time, but it matched perfectly and the quality was unsurpassed. I could not say enough good things about Fort Point Cabinetmakers as to their skill, quality of work, professionalism and sincere interest in completing a project to the exact customer specifications.
