  • Great service

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

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.

    Working with Jonathan was great. I provided measurements for my custom desk, and Jonathan was timely & efficient during the entire process. I gave him an idea of how I wanted it to look and Jonathan delivered. I will definitely be using him in future projects. Thank you for everything Jonathan!

    I am absolutely thrilled with the table base that Jonathan Walkey made for me from my first communication with him to sitting down to eat dinner tonight!
    The construction of the table is phenomenal. It looks great, feels wonderful, and is a gorgeous addition to our house. I couldn't be more pleased.
    I will recommend Jonathan to anyone that asks for a custom furniture maker reference, and I will be contacting Jonathan the next time we have a need for a custom piece.

We would recommend this craftsman highly to anyone and will use him for another project that we are working on. Shipping was a little slow , but the end result was excellent, and the shipping personnel were professional and courteous and careful.
    Overall extremely satisfied.
