Jonathan Walkey is retired professional furniture maker who now makes selected pieces for discriminating clients. I am a one man studio, specializing in decorative arts and crafts, mid-century, Greene & Green, etc. furniture. my own personal style generally includes contrasting hardwoods with beautiful grains and hand worked inlays. In between commissions I simultaneously work on personal studio furniture projects.
I was raised in Lincoln Massachusetts where my father was the director of the DeCordova Museum of modern art. My mother worked as an expert in fine crafts and furniture . I attended many arts and crafts classes and summer art camps at the Museum. I was trained as a silversmith at age 11 and at age 12 built a 10 foot kayak made of wood and canvas. I was a U.S. Navy trained aviation mechanic and earned my living for 15 years as a master mechanic, working mainly on motorcycles. I am also a former carpenter, criminal appellate attorney, credentialed teacher, professional writer, and painter.
Today I apply my talents and interests to building fine arts and craft furniture. My lifelong continuing education combines training of the mind with training of the hands. What you buy from Jonathan is fine art as well as heirloom quality furniture built to last many lifetimes. These qualities are reflected in the cost of my work, neither of which should ever be compared with that of commercial furniture.

We would recommend this craftsman highly to anyone and will use him for another project that we are working on.

For Stella's Kitchen island cart on rollersWorking with Jonathan was such a pleasure. In corresponding with him I knew my cart was in very good hands. I got my cart today and the pictures that he sent me did not do it justice. The cart is fabulous. I would consider Jonathan on any of my future projects.
Thanks again Jonathan.

For Amrit's Dining TableIncredibly happy with our new breakfast table. We asked Jonathan to build a custom bar height breakfast table for us and sent pictures and measurements, and we got exactly what we envisioned. He was patient about our indecisiveness when it came to selecting wood and other features, and informative to help us with our decision. The table is gorgeous and everyone who visits asks about it and drools over the workmanship. This is our first piece of custom furniture, and what an amazing piece. We'll be back to Jonathan's shop for his coffee table next.
