Williams Writing Desk
I had the fortune of total artistic freedom on this walnut writing desk. Meant to be easy on the eye, the walnut and cherry combination works well against the soft curves and subtle variations. The writing surface is a thick cherry veneer with a "pooled" edge. The pulls are wenge and the drawers are quartersawn white oak who's wood came off of the frame of an 1880's Montana rail car.

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.
