This small credenza has it's roots in an art deco style table by Jules Leleu that I made a number of years ago which lead to the "Lonna Collection", a limited line that I make. It features frame and panel with mortise and tenon construction. This one is made with Curly Maple with Sepele "socks" on the legs and an accent strip that mimics the illusion of a floating top. It measures 48w x 21d x 30h

The use of both domestic and exotic woods helps me to enhance the clean lines of my designs. I am influenced by a variety of styles from Shaker and Mission to Art Deco and Art Nouveau, blending them into a more contemporary style.
I have worked with wood for over 30 years, establishing VB Woodworks in 1996.
Along with designing and building custom furniture, I have a few limited productions and semi-custom lines with no two pieces exactly the same.

For Console TableI couldn't be happier! Darrin was a pleasure. I described what I wanted and, in two or three emails, he had set to paper exactly what I had in mind. I was able to watch the process since Darrin sent pics at different stages of development. He drove the completed table to my house when he said he would (despite there having been a blizzard the preceding day), set it up, gave me detailed information on how to care for it, and was extremely generous in offering to change/fix whatever didn't suit me. Unnecessary, since the piece is gorgeous! For a big guy, he has quite a gentle touch in his woodworking!

For Freestanding Pantry CabinetDarrin did a fabulous job on our project. He brings passion to woodworking and a “good ear”, which other reviewers had pointed out too. We were grateful that he considered how we would be using our pantry, and he included a way to anchor it, as well as a top piece that would make the piece easier to clean and offer a place for knick-knacks. We received mostly weekly updates with pictures, and found additional updates on Facebook. We would highly recommend Darrin for any of your project needs. We hope to hire him again too!
