Sculptural Chest Of Drawers
This chest of drawers has many uses oneof which is visual. My design intent was to build a functional piece that displayed my appreciation of the motice & tennon bean construction of traditional barns I have seen. The structure holding the boxes is that representation, the canteleiver beams adds some dynamics to the typical barn frame construction. The tops, handles and feet are rosewood, the boxes are red oak and the frame is maple.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Welcome to my Site . . .
I'm a skilled Craftsman, Designer, Artist, who specializes in fine cabinetry, furniture and Artwork. I seek individuality in design for my customers.
Since 1970, I’ve designed & built custom cabinets, furniture in PA, NJ, and NY.
Each project is designed for you, using my many years of experience. I can also work with your architect, designer or builder, using your designs.
My projects range from ‘Classic Traditional’ to ‘Contemporary’ in design, including ‘Crafts Style’, with its artistic exposed joinery. As you will see in my online portfolio.
I use a wide range of quality and interesting materials. From unique solid woods in the form of flitches, (natural edge boards that can be 36’’ wide, 14 ft long and 3’’ thick) to specific highly selected exotic veneers and grain patterns.
Over forty years of experience has tempered and honed my skills…. along with the ability to understand the needs of my clients and communicate my ideas.
My projects have been published in, House Beautiful Sept 1986, House Beautiful Home Remodeling and Renovations, Spring 1988, Better Homes and Gardens, Better by Design, April 1999. And most recently Fine Woodworking.
I'd like to mention my invention and subsequent US patent award, for the “EuroButt II System Hinge”. Which allows the cabinetmakers that use or want to use the concealed hinge the option to give the traditional design element of the traditional ball tip hinge barrel to the European concealed hinge.

For chest/console5.0The cabinet fits just perfect. All your little "cut out" details make a huge difference. Everything is so neat and tidy, no plugs or cables showing. We bolted it to the wall right away. It's really great looking, a naturally beautiful & unique piece we will always enjoy. It's so sturdy too. Keep up the good and creative work. I have other "hard to fit" areas in this house. Thanks for creating such a cool piece.
