My services strictly consist of building furniture, cabinetry, and
shutters. I do not do any type of onsite remodeling, construction, trim or
paint work.
I have a professional workshop fully equipped with all of the
necessary tools, machinery & supplies to produce and finish all of my
products. Please keep in mind that when I provide an estimate the prices reflect custom
built pieces and that I do not and cannot compete with large retail/outlet operations
or even other craftsman. My work represents only the finest materials and
hand craftsmanship with the utmost attention to detail in mind vs. mass
produced furniture..
Though I build many types of custom cabinets, my specialty is
focused on custom built furniture pieces and not necessarily conventional
type kitchen cabinetry. I will however always consider requests for
custom kitchen or bathroom cabinetry work depending upon current work load
(though I often decline complete kitchen jobs due to the immense amount of
time involved to build, finish & install them). My typical work load and waiting list can range from 1-6
months (at present). I try accommodate all requests within a
reasonable amount of time.
References are available upon request.
What I can offer you:
-
Custom Designs based on the customer's ideas or those from other
sources such as stores, photos, magazines.
-
Custom
cabinetry for your kitchen, bath or home office is also offered.
-
I also offer custom built interior shutters. These are custom fitted to
every window and are available in various styles and panel
configurations. Due to fabrication time and finishing involved, production for
multiple windows can take several weeks or months depending upon
current work load so please keep this in mind
when inquiring. A quote is provided only after
detailed measurements of all windows are considered and the customer is
consulted as to style, panel configuration and finish desired as
well as type of hardware (hinges, knobs, & catches).
My work is very detailed and custom made for your home and there
are very few suppliers offering such window treatments. Louvered shutters are not available.

Finishes are applied in a manner
befitting of the piece. Period furniture deserves a period style
finish. Country & Colonial pieces often receive high quality flat/satin
paint. For those that prefer natural wood tones I offer various
options including stain, oil finish, shellac, lacquer & varnish
finishes which are either hand rubbed or sprayed on in multiple
coats for the utmost beauty & durability. If preferred pieces are also distressed using
techniques to age the appearance such as crackling weathering or
glaze finishes
making them perfectly at home in country, antique or period
settings.
For naturally beautiful woods such as Cherry I prefer a natural
looking clear
finish as it would be a sin to apply stain to a wood which
naturally darkens with age and has such a warm, rich color.
-
I also offer an extensive variety of hinges and hardware
for all types of cabinets, doors and shutters that I build as well as specialized hardware for cabinet
organization. I have a variety of sources
for specialized and hard to find antique reproduction hardware and can generally
find or match many styles.
