Hand-Carved Walnut Side Chair
Based on the Charles Brock/Sam Maloof Bowtie Stool, this is sculpted entirely from 2" thick walnut with wenge plugs on the joints. Seat is 16" square and a standard 19" from the floor with the back reaching to a comfortable 30" to provide solid support for the lower/middle back or as an arm rest. Finish is a wax and linseed oil blend which augments the color, provides protection and gives an exceptionally smooth feel without building a thick barrier experienced with most lacquer/poly varnishes.

Good Morning. My name is Matthew White and I've been a woodworker since 1998. I'm mostly self-taught and I've been adding to my skills ever since.
By day I'm in the Air Force and I found woodworking to be an excellent creative release. It's also given me the opportunity to give back to those who have served.
I've burned murals for conference centers, built shadow boxes for retired Chiefs, and had my work grace offices in Washington D.C. I've had my work presented to Colonels and Airmen completing basic training.
It has been an awesome experience to share and I'm always open to a new project or challenge.

For Custom Music Stand?5.0I cannot be happier with what Matt designed and made. This music stand will be a family piece for years to come, and I am so glad that Matt took a chance on this idea/project. I recommend Matt unreservedly and look forward to working together again. Thank you so much!

For Segmented And Inlayed Pens5.0This was a Christmas gift for my son who is active duty Navy. I was able to be there when he opened it and he was thoroughly impressed with the quality of workmanship and the history of the wood used. I will recommend your company to every one I know.
Thanks for making my son's Christmas.

For Dan's Chessboard5.0I was first a little apprehensive about having something made through this site. I was worried about the quality of work that i'd be getting and how much things would cost.
Matthew White really does do good work. He posted pictures through the different stages of the project which made me feel involved. I also showed me that he was actively working on the project to get it done in a timely manner. I was expecting good work….and got excellence instead! He personalized the piece and showed that he is both an artist as well as a carpenter. I would definitely go to him again for future projects!

For Air Force Eod Shadow Box5.0I purchased an "Air Force EOD Technician's Retirement Shadow Box." The craftsmanship was superb! Matthew was amazing to work with and offered a speedy turn around time. I can't say enough about his professionalism and the quality of his work. If you're looking to craft a one of a kind piece Matthew is your guy!

For Flag Cases with Certificate Frames5.0Matthew was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was helpful in designing the frame, timely in communication, and delivers an impeccable product. The flag and certificate frame I ordered was a wedding gift for my husband and he was absolutely blown away by the quality! Thank you so much, it will hang in our home for years to come!
