Future Primitive Walnut And Carbon Fiber Bed
The essence of custom furniture is that it is your design and idea, and that it should be unique, and cool, too. First a primer: live-edge means nature dictates what the edges look like. Bookmatched means when opening a book you see the identical figured wood on each left and right page. Slabs are pieces cut from a whole tree as-is. This bed has Virginia walnut live-edge slabs for the head board and foot board coupled with linear pieces framing the slabs as highlights. Crotches are where limbs meet, and the foot board crotch needed a massive void filled with carbon fiber and epoxy as a quasi-futuristic highlight. This is Future Primitive woodworking.

Authentic. Functional. Furniture.
This simple mantra drives what we do. We design and build hardwood furniture that will outlast your lifetime. Leading with the world-famous rocking chair (with free-floating back braces), we build tables, benches, chests, children’s toys, clocks, chests, and custom built-in cabinetry. Our furniture is authentic. You will notice grain striations, irregular wood pattern curls, and other one-of-a-kind natural traits of the wood. Our furniture is functional. While some would rather admire - and not sit in - the rocking chair, for example, it is unarguably the most comfortable chair in which you have ever sat. Finally, we build, simply, furniture. We use FSC certified hardwoods. We combine classical and modern woodworking techniques to ensure lifetimes of form and function in these pieces. We are passionate about building fine furniture.

For Custom Wood Box5.0I asked Jeff to build a large waterproof outdoor box for storing smoking wood (a Christmas present for my wife). The finished product came out beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the workmanship of the final piece. It ended up being a bit more than I had originally hoped, but in the end the value is correct. Communication throughout was great, including when we needed to change certain aspects to get the best value out of our materials. I would definitely work with Jeff again, next time I need some custom woodwork done.

For Cutting Board Delta5.0Jeff was very easy to communicate with. I custom ordered a board with several woods and laser engraving. He answered every question with in a day and the final product is simply beautiful, just as I had hoped for. It's going to make wonderful wedding gift.

For queen size bed4.8It's great, and I'd work with him again, and recommend him to others. The bed is a really nice piece, really pretty and it seems well built and solid, and smells good, like fresh wood. I've never done custom made furniture before, so $2200 seems kinda high for a bed -- but it may be standard, especially for around here.

For Cutting Board Delta5.0The custom cutting board Jeff made for me as a wedding gift to a friend is better than I could have expected. He showed his expertise and craftsmanship. I could tell he truly valued the project and he was easy to communicate with (and funny too). I couldn't be happier with the final product. It can be viewed on his page as the "Massachusetts cutting board."

For Rotating Bookcase Project5.0Jeff worked with me to achieve a rotating bookcase that surpassed my expectations. I had the basic idea of what I wanted and then Jeff's knowledge of wood meant I ended up with a gorgeous walnut and maple piece, with beautiful dovetailing. Jeff sent photographs at every stage of the the process and delivered the piece right to me. All in all, a terrific transaction.
