Western Mountain Windsor
An aging barbed wired fence on a cattle ranch in Montana inspired this version of a traditional Windsor. Black cherry was used to sculpt the saddle and ash for the legs and spindles. The backrest is Bison hide while the continuous back is steam bent walnut. Wrought iron feet and center supports add a little girth and bent laminated lumbar supports gently hold your posture as you sit.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I build custom furniture, cabinets and interior woodwork. I have a large stock of air dried domestic hardwoods in house to choose from if desired, most of which I have harvested or reclaimed. A general emphasis on hand tools and traditional joinery is my trademark. However, my shop is well equipped with power machinery which helps the process along with the necessary shortcuts needed for efficiency. I focus on pushing boundaries in design while practicing traditional woodworking.
I attended Rosewood Studio school of Fine Woodworking in Almonte, Onterio in 2003 were I studied hand tools and joinery such as dovetails, mortise and tennons, etc. In 2006 I was awarded a Sam Maloof scholarship and attended a body conscious chair design class at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, CO led by Berkely anthropology professor Galen Cranz and chairmaker Issabelle Moore of Britain.

For Slab Coffee Table5.0Working with John as a breeze. Very prompt with responses of questions. Sent me pictures showing the progress and tracking number of the shipment. When we received our coffee table, it took us about 10 minutes to open it, it was packed so well. And the table was simply gorgeous. Beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I would contact John in the future for other items.
