Arbor Bow Arm Morris Chair
This chair can be made in many species of wood, or can be customized by mixing woods together. Inspired by the beautiful Live Oak trees of Southern Florida, this chair is my take on the traditional Morris Chair. The chair is constructed of solid, quartersawn oak and finished with a dye stain followed by a hand rubbed oil finish. The Arbor Bow Armed Morris Chair follows the traditional Morris Chair design featuring three reclining positions and is crafted to give pleasure and withstand more than a lifetime.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Originating from a small town in the green mountains of Vermont, I began a fine woodworking apprenticeship under a local master furniture maker while still in high school. Upon completing the required 8000 hour apprenticeship program, I became the first to achieve Vermont State certification.
My 5 year journeymanship followed, beginning in Vermont and extending to Naples, FL.
Finally, in 2004, my dream of being a Master came true when I opened my first shop in Naples, FL. While having my shop in Naples, I did work for customers such as Truly Nolan, Olga Hirshhorn ( from the Hirshhorn garden at the Smithsonian) and the Lutgert family along with many others. I also was on the Naples museum of art open studio tour in 2010. One of only six artists in all of Naples.
In July of 2010, I expanded that dream by relocating back to the forests, this time, in the Western North Carolina town of Black Mountain, just a few miles east of Asheville.
I already have over 17 years of experience in custom furniture making at the age of 35, and that is why all of my pieces show the commitment and dedication I display to the craft. Many of the pieces I have made can be viewed on my website with detail images. Also, I can custom make pieces that you may have in mind, or we can design together to suit your needs.
