Cherry Trestle Dining Table
This one of a kind piece was commissioned by a client who had (reluctantly) demolished a barn on the family farm. The 100+ year old barn was built entirely of old-growth cherry and was the last survivor of the original farm buildings. This table was the only "inheritance" the old home place had to offer, and now serves daily as the family table.

After twenty years restoring and draft-proofing historic homes for owners & their families, it seems I don't encounter as many run-down, turn-of-the-century jewels as I used to…
But folks haven't lost their love of beautiful wood and skillful joinery.
I take the timbers & moulings of yesteryear and craft them into the casework, tables, & architectural details that lend their rich texture and strength to the tighter, more energy-efficient buildings we build today.
By blending the old and new in different ways, we can embrace the modern efficiency we must achieve, without sacrificing the comforting style of Home.
I enjoy the process as much as the finished piece, from meeting and getting to know my clients, to designing pieces for their unique needs and preference. It's a journey we take together - it starts with sharing an idea, and grows into a custommade relationship between you, your home, and me.
