Handmade Traditional Furniture, Traditional Joinery, Finest Wood

We have been making traditional furniture for over 20 years; all types of furnishings including tea tables, kitchen tables, bedroom sets, barrister bookcases, hope chests, linen presses, television cabinets and entertainment centers, and more. Over the years we have developed a preference for period reproduction furniture such as William and Mary, Queen Anne, and Colonial. We believe the traditional styles and construction process is timeless. We also enjoy the detail and handwork that is often required when making a period piece.

We often make custom pieces and we are willing to discuss anything of interest. Please contact us with your request. We will have a conversation and we will provide a free quote for your consideration.

Quality Matters

  • ✓ Premium Hardwoods - We typically use quality woods such as mahogany, cherry, walnut, oak, and maple.
  • ✓ Construction - We utilize traditional joinery in all of our work; mortise and tenon, dovetails, half-lap, and more. We find that these construction techniques produce furniture that will last a lifetime.
  • ✓ Finishes - Our attention to detail includes matching the wood's grains and tones which results in a piece that does not need to be stained or dyed. However, we are able to apply color if desired. We prefer finishes such as shellac, rubbed oil, and varnish. Each finish results in a different appearance and provides different levels of protection.

“Gorgeous chair, which we will enjoy for years. Bill made a custom version for us out of maple as we like lighter colors, and it came out so beautifully. Exceptional handiwork! Thanks so much.”
