Great service

My name is Mike Monday and I am "The Wood Hobbit". I've been building furniture for ~ 30 years and absolutely love everything about it. It's about the process. Design, wood selection, milling and component development, assembly and finish. And a happy customer. I use a mix of machines and hand-tools. Machines are great for reducing the 'grunt-work'…..milling raw material down to usable wood components…….for repeatable results on multiple pieces. But the real fun is in the final 'tuning' of each component. Using hand tools for the final fit and finish…for getting those tight fitting joints and crisp edges. I sign everything I make (obviously on a hidden part of the piece!) and I want that piece to be well engineered and of the highest quality. If you're looking for Chippendale, French Provincial, or Queen Anne styles you need to look elsewhere. As you can see from my portfolio I focus on Stickley, Greene and Greene, and Mission and shaker style furniture. Even mid-century modern or contemporary from time time. Anyway, I hope you find what your looking for…..or if you would like to talk about a custom piece give me a shout. Until then have fun, enjoy life, have peace and happiness. Mike (The Wood Hobbit).
