Small Custom Cabinet

Furniture built by me to last for generations using the highest quality joinery.

What is the difference between my furniture and furniture you buy in a store?

Today's furniture is built using plywood, MDF, and particle board that are held together by pocket screws which is the lowest quality way to join pieces of furniture. Then the furniture has to be stained or dyed to match. Very little solid wood is actually used in most pieces of furniture today. These methods produce a high volume of low quality product with high margins of profit. You might be intimated when you think of ordering a custom piece of furniture, but did you know in some cases it can be cheaper or the same price to buy custom made.

When I build your custom piece of furniture I meticulously design, build and finish your custom furniture. You have control of the style, look, wood and dimensions. You can pick any solid wood that is available on the market. Each board is hand picked by me to ensure grain/color match and strength. This method gives you the option to enjoy a natural finish that brings out the natural beauty of the wood. Every piece of furniture I build is built out of solid wood that is joined together using primarily mortise and tenon or dovetail joinery. Designed to allow the wood to move with climate changes. This type of Joinery is so effective, because as the wood expands the joinery is not artificial like screws and will expand and contract working naturally together and once a piece is properly joined it becomes one solid piece. Using screws is quicker and more cost effective, but they will fail over a short period of time. You can ensure that as long as your custom furniture is not abused it will become a family heirloom.
