Sino-Provincial Bed

$6,000

An existing client wanted a bed to match a small French provincial armoire I had built the year before. He wanted a piece to harmonize with the existing piece, but not necessarily match it. My research into French provincial styled bed frames did not work for us. I found that many of the details from the armoire that I wanted to mirror in the bed were found in Chinese furniture. The resulting design is a hybrid of Chinese and French provincial styles that works quite naturally.

    We are very happy that we run into Jim Eddy through Custommade.com.
    Jim took our desk ideas and transformed them into an excellent working desk. The quality of his wood work and attention to details is perfect.
    We now have a unique office desk that is spacy, easy to work with and gorgeous. Jim's choice or wood and leather transformed the tradional office desk into a life style statement.
    We are very grateful to Jim and looking forward to few other projects.
    By the way, Jim shipped this across the county and with no scratch.
    Many many thanks

    This project took longer than expected, he did explain what happened to cause this. The chairs packed so well it took me two hours to unpack them, in other words pack perfectly. Once the were in the house at the table thet are so much better than even I expected. I have been to many ACC shows as a craftsman and a buyer and his work is as good as any I have seen. He improved on George Nakashima's design by making it much more comfortable and better proportioned. The finish is exactly the way I discussed. I have had other woodworkers over and they all rave about the design, angles and sheer beauty of his work. If you are patient about time lines; I don't think you can find a better craftsman to build your desired piece.

    Jim was fantastic to work with. He took great care in listening to the details of our project and offering his own suggestions as well. The design process went very smoothly and we were thrilled with the finished result. Jim does not settle for anything less than perfection and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a unique piece of woodworking.
