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 Zebrawood Hall TableIngrid Leverett
For Zebrawood Hall TableDarrin crafted a gorgeous Arts and Crafts-style console table that I gave to my husband as a Christmas present. The craftsmanship is utterly sublime -- it is absolutely perfect. The joinery and finish are silky smooth and flawless. The table looks as though it was made by Berkeley Mills, from whose pieces I drew inspiration in communicating to Darrin what I wanted.
As for communication, Darrin "listened" attentively to what I wanted and asked me a number of questions aimed at ensuring I would be satisfied. He left nothing to chance.
When the piece arrived at my house, I was seriously impressed at the extreme care with which it had been packaged for transport, which included being wrapped in a moving blanket and plastic moving wrap and then placed in a sturdy box that had been reinforced on all sides with rigid panels and styrofoam.
It's reassuring to know that fine wood artisans like Darrin are still around and making the world a bit more beautiful with each of their creations. I highly and enthusiastically recommend Darrin to anyone looking for fine wood craftsmanship, and I plan to use him again myself in the future.
