Fine (and Rustic!) Furniture

One of my favorite parts of carpentry is working with each individual bit of grain, piece of wood, or tree to reveal the characteristics that are unique in all of the universe. The beauty and strength of a project is often dictated more by paying attention to the growth of the wood than by my hand.

I love building custom designed pieces and there’s very little that’s more satisfying than building something that will then support you - like a chair, or a table.

In this category, as in others, I love to repurpose materials when I can, which has added benefits including lower materials costs and keeping more stuff out of landfills. Win-win.
