I made my first piece of furniture right before our daughter was born. It was a little changing table I made from 3/4 plywood; drawers and all ! I painted it brown and my wife made the cushion and covering for it. We were both very proud. Our daughter now has a family of her own, and two years ago I made a changing table for her first child (our first grandchild!) I've come a LONG way since then ! !
90% of all the furniture you see here or in my shop is made in the true Arts & Craft tradition. Using quarter sawn white oak, mortise and tenon joinery, hand rubbed Tung Oil or phenolic resin based varnish with a minimum of five coats. Heirloom quality pieces that can be passed down generation to generation. Beautiful in it's natural state or stained per your request. There is no inventory; all orders are taken and custom made. Delivery usually ranges from 8-12 weeks (depending on current work load). Sideboards, dining tables/chairs, corner hutches, hall trees/benches, hall tables, end tables, coffee tables, clocks, mirrors, etc. ALL patterned after the furniture that was popular at the turn of the 20th century and made with beautiful quarter sawn white oak. While this furniture was primarily made from quarter sawn white oak, I realize that some may want their custom made piece made from some other species of wood. This is not a problem. as you can see from some of the photos, I frequently use cherry, walnut, maple, etc. when called upon. Regardless of the wood used, you will love the quality and appearance of your heirloom quality Arts & Craft furniture from Bungalow. I guarantee it ! !

For Six 6' benchesI thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Michael. This was my first time commissioning a project on Custom-Made and it was a rather large order; seven 7' black walnut benches to be used in a youth room at church. I wasn't certain of the exact design, but had a couple "inspiration photos" that he used to come up with a beautiful design. He submitted a proposal quickly and walked me through the building process. We made a couple of changes along the way and he was more than accommodating. Upon completion, he drove six hours to hand deliver his beautiful workmanship. These benches will serve our needs for years to come. I highly recommend Bungalow White Oak Furniture to anyone thinking of having a custom made piece of furniture.

For Breakfast room tableMike understood my needs for a simple style for my table and the fact that it had to be easily accessible from two sides, as it was going into a double banquette. He also understood that it wasn't a "centerpiece" item like a dining room table, so I didn't want to spend tons of money on it. The communication was great, with pictures and message updates as each phase of the table was finished. When the table arrived, it was packed very thoroughly. It is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. Many thanks.

For tableMike is one of those craftsman and all around good guy that restore my faith in people. From the first time we communicated until I received the beautiful, custom tables he communicated with me regularly. He was professional, timely and most of all honest. The solid teak tables he crafted for me will be in my family for many generations and I will definitely use his expertise again. He also will be receiving referrals from me since everyone that enters my home makes a comment about the unique tables he built.
My thanks go to Bungalow White Oak Furniture for a great experience!

For James' Media CabinetThis project was a collaboration based on several pieces I liked, but lacked the features I wanted. We were able to come up with a design that is stunning. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in his suggestions to help create this perfect piece. It is a very well built piece that I believe will last for a lifetime (perhaps several). He was able to keep me well informed about the progress of the project with frequent picture updates. I have absolutely no regrets about choosing this maker. He is highly recommended and I will strongly consider using him again for any new items.

For square pub tableMichael is not only professional and an expert craftsman but is also easy to work with and very creative. We couldn't be happier with our gorgeous mahogany pub table. It fits perfectly in our room and is very high quality. It is the perfect centerpiece/showpiece. We highly recommend Michael and will absolutely contact him the next time we need high quality, hand-crafted furniture.
