    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.

    For Wedge Table

    John has been very easy & professional to work with. He accommodated my every wish to achieve table for between my two prized Stickley recliners. I just could not find anything remotely close that would meet my needs to what I had John make for me. I also did not want a mass produce table. Regrettably I have to rate the VALUE of this project at just 4 stars out of 5 only due to the exchange rate between our Canuck buck & the US dollar that made this a rather expensive but very appreciated piece of furniture for what it is but I could wait for our currencies to get on par again. I should have done this a year ago had I known of Custom Made. Thankx John

    We just received our table last evening. The craftsmanship is superb and we love the table. 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.

    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.
