This is not a commercial web site! That said, I'll try to define what it is, but a little history first. I have spent about 25 years in the business of creating custom furniture, having retired in January of 2006. I sold the cabinet shop and a little later most of the equipment, so I am no longer in the business. After a year of retirement I have been asked many times what kind of furniture I had made, apparently the term "Custom" hasn't been an apt description. Therefore in an attempt to clarify, I'm building this web site which will be mostly a collection of photos of some of the pieces I have built. It is not complete as I didn't take pictures of everything and some that I have are of poor quality and will not be included here in. I may include some complete start to finish sequences to give the reader an idea of what is involved in the process (from drafting to applying the finish) of creating a custom piece of furniture. Don't bother asking me to build something new, it won't happen. I might entertain the idea of designing a new piece, but building it is out of the question.
So back to the original question, what is this? For my purposes, it is a pictorial display of my life's work. It is what I spent upwards of 60 hours per week doing for over 25 years. All of these pieces were hand crafted with a great deal of time spent on detail. Hopefully the owners of these items will pass them down to the next generation and generations beyond that, that will be my legacy, they were constructed with that very purpose in mind.
