All my beds feature a hidden bolted tenon from the side rails into the head and footboard. This ensures a rock solid construction for generations.

For Office Desk / TableI had to do considerable extra work on the final product in order for the drawers to work properly. I provided the concept drawing and Jim designed the rest. The final product looks fantastic from a small distance. It is in the details of the construction that is disappointing. It has been a little over a year since Jim installed it and I have just recently finished fixing it. After some communication to have Jim complete the project and having him say he would take care of it. I ended up just doing it myself. He never got back with me on this project.

For murphy bedI was very happy with how the Murphy bed turned out. It exceeded my expectations. Jim also spent a lot of time making sure the installation was perfect even though it was a tight space.

For Two Picture Frames in Cherry WoodWorking with Jim was a real pleasure. Not only did he promptly give us a proposal, but he fine-tuned it to our exact needs. The frames -- for large paintings -- are beautiful and well constructed. Jim delivered them to our home and installed the paintings with care. Excellent experience all around!
