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 Large Outdoor Dining Table - CedarMichael was great to work with! He communicated regularly and updated our project status with multiple pictures. The workmanship and craftsmanship exceeded or expectations. We will definitely use Michael again. He personally delivered our tables personally over 600 miles from his shop. His freight cost(s) were more than reasonable and it was very nice to personally meet the person who made our heirloom quality furniture. Michael has extensive experience and his talent and workmanship definitely show in the finished product! Happy Family in Houston!!

For Wood arm chairI commissioned an oversized mission chair from Bungalow White Oak Furniture through Custom Made. I was hoping for a high quality piece that is very sturdy. Not only was I not disappointed but I was also quite pleased with the artistry of the composition. This was expressed in the form of all the parts as related to the pattern of the grain and of course the masterful wood working. The seat features three tiger stripes which really sets the chair apart from anything you could buy in a store. The clear finish adds a sheen as a wonderful enhancement. It will prove to be a valued heirloom for generations, I'm sure. I highly recommend this maker. Please, accept my gratitude for a job well done.

For Dining ChairsI had 10 chairs made by Michael Barnhill (d/b/a Bungalow White Oak Furniture). I am in the process of returning each. The issues are too extensive to described in this comment section. Very bad experience.

For Nakashima-Inspired Conoid ChairLOVE MY CHAIRS!!! Mike was great. I had two projects pending because I added another set of chairs half way through it and Mike was more than happy to change my original order. He was wonderful to work with and his communication is fast and friendly. I highly recommend him and will use him again in the future if I need anything else crafted. I LOVE the chairs he made for me!!!

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.
