Armoir

This is a solid cherry armoir that was commisioned. The drawers are dove tailed with poplar as a secondary. The drawers and necklace panels are all lined with black velvet. The lid is held open by a wooden hinge that slides across a multiple stop point block. It looked better that the commercially available ones. A very happy customer!

    This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.

I am a 55 year old, that has never tired of playing with wood. An old German man instilled in me the love of creating art with wood while I was a young boy, it has burned in me for the past half century. Everything from custom homes to antique furniture repair and more.

I pride myself in giving a customer more than they expect. My pieces are unique and personal for myself and my customer. I work to make heirloom pieces that will be used for generations. Using the highest quality material available, with no compromises in quality.

I stand behind my work because I love what I do and with that ethic, I have yet to receive a bad review or have a customer that was not pleased with my product.

    We love our new sofa table. It's a beautiful and well built piece of furniture superior to anything we could find at the store. It was built to our exact specifications and Papa communicated with us every step of the way. We can't wait to have Papa build our next piece of furniture.

    From the very beginning of the project, Dwayne was a pleasure to work with. He was very understanding of our desires and listened to our input in the design process; his suggestions for improvements were thoughtful and extremely clever. His workmanship is careful and sure. He was always timely in communicating every part of the process.

    He created a lovely and timeless piece of furniture that we will treasure for generations.
