Arts & Crafts Fall Front Secretary/Desk
This piece was based on a desk by Gustav Stickley at his Craftsman Farms homestead in Parsippany, NJ. The main adaptation is the inclusion of a lateral file drawer. The fall front is a 2 part laminate, that applies a perfectly flat writing surface to a frame and panel front.

For Nakashima-Inspired Conoid Chair4.3This 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.

For Two Picture Frames in Cherry Wood5.0Working with Jim was a real pleasure. Not only did he promptly give us a proposal, but he fine-tuned it to our exact needs. The frames -- for large paintings -- are beautiful and well constructed. Jim delivered them to our home and installed the paintings with care. Excellent experience all around!
