”Where many may see a chair, I see its parts: the legs, rails, seat and back. I see the work that must be done to rough out each compo­nent from it’s raw state, and to train each to hold tight to one another. 

Portions of each are chis­eled away, refash­ioned and tested for fit. When the work is complete and each part united, many pieces become One.”

No nails. No screws. No stains.

“I don’t use nails or screws in my furni­ture because I want my pieces to be held together accord­ing to their fit, not by force. I don’t use stains because I honor the partic­u­lar char­ac­ter­is­tics of each board I hand select. The process is diffi­cult but the results are honest.”
