The Holly One
The Holey One I named this piece "The Holey One" because, as you can see, this headboard has some natural holes in it from where the knots fell out. My first three headboards were made because I had some exotic wood left over from some pieces I made. I received a lot of praise from the people that bought the first three, so I said "what the heck, I'll go buy some wood and make some more" I really enjoy making them because I'm never quite sure how they'll come out. The headboards look great once I'm done gluing them together, and it's always a nice surprise to see what they look like after I put a finish on them. The Holey One is the forth one I've made, and with your help I'll be making several more. The Headboard is 30-3/4" tall 64" wide 1" thick

A little about me.
I used my Montgomery G.I Bill money I got from serving to go to woodworking school. I spent 3 and a half years in the school and then I worked for a few different wood shops till I landed where I am now.
I am very happy where I am now and super proud of the work we do there.
When I'm not designing for clients I'm building my own designs.
My ethos is the same as all great designers. That is, “Form Must Always Follow Function”.
I, like most people, have a favorite things to look at. For me it’s trees, I love almost all of them. When I'm standing under a huge one I get such a feeling of peace and comfort.
I’m sure we all know by now that trees look the way they do because that’s exactly how they need to be designed in order for them to thrive.
The tree to me is the epitome of Form Following Function.
The tree is my standard, it is the bar that I’m trying to reach.
A tree is mighty and durable. I want my furniture to be strong and well built.
A tree is beautiful and timeless. I want my furniture to be super cool and never trendy.
Thanks again for taking the time.

For Chest of Drawers and night stands5.0We are completely thrilled with the chest of drawers and night stands Michel designed and produced for us. The design was both modern and functional. He selected beautiful wood that fit within the budget and the pieces show a real attention to detail on how they are put together. We were always updated on the progress of their construction and he figured out how to safely deliver them into a room with narrow entry. We give Michel our highest recommendation.
