Dovetailed Walnut Box

Too often we buy poorly made things only to discard them and buy again. My aim is to produce finely made pieces of furniture that evoke a feeling of intimacy through subtle details and proportion while conveying a sense of durability that over time, each piece will become even more beautiful as it is being used.

Simple and elegant designs are formed using time tested joinery and a thoughtful selection of material for each component. All surfaces, even the ones never intended to be seen, are meticulously hand planed, and sanded until satiny smooth. Working wood is a slow and methodical test of knowledge, skill, and patience that hopefully results in not only a functional object, but also, a connection between the maker, material, and user.
