Verona Eight Drawer Dresser
The design of this piece started with the legs. The idea of having the body of the dresser suspended by the legs was very appealing to me. I needed them to rise up above the piece like a bridge. The dresser is made from solid wood construction featuring mortice and tenon joinery. The drawers are dovetail construction with the option of hand fitted traditional drawers or modern under mount drawer glides. The handles are hand carved. The dresser is shown in cherry but also looks wonderful in walnut. The dimensions shown are 66 W x 18 D x 33 H

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I began my woodworking career in 1992 after taking a guitar building course in Rockport Maine. Following were nine years as a carpenter before attending The Center For Furniture Craftsmanship, a furniture making school in 2001. I opened my shop in Red Hook Brooklyn that same year and have been making custom furniture, cabinetry, and mill work for the past thirteen years. My shop is now located in historic Wethersfield CT.
I have also enjoyed writing on the subject of woodworking and have had several articles featured in Fine Woodworking Magazine as well as a video series on dovetail joinery techniques. My furniture has been featured in two design books by the Taunton Press.
Over the past 13 years I have been commissioned to make a wide range of custom work. My shop routinely crafts custom furniture, high end cabinetry, custom doors, both interior and exterior, and mill work. I have also worked on some very special jewelry projects for both Julius Cohen Jewelers in NYC and Mish New York.
I welcome the challenges of design as much as the fabrication process. Every design that I produce is modeled and rendered in 3D space. The customer gets to see a photographically real image of the piece before it is constructed. This allows for any issues to be resolved before a project is built.
