How We Work

          I have been designing and building wooden furniture for 25 years. Presently, I work in a wooden barn designed and built in Chester County, Pennsylvania specifically to house my shop. Three part time helpers are learning woodworking as they assist me.        Inspired by the infinite variety of color, figure and texture found in woods from around the world, my designs use these unique materials to craft fine furniture that celebrates the beauty of the wood and at the same time serves the function my clients require of the piece. 

Welcome

    These pages help to document twenty-five years of furniture making that has focused on the use of outstanding exotic and domestic woods to make beautiful, functional furniture. Included in the Liturgical Gallery are samples of collaborations I have done with fine artist and sculptor Robert F. McGovern.
    Please browse the galleries, find your favorites and let us know how we can help you to acquire a well-made, distinctive piece of fine wood furniture.

New Work

In the past year I have had surgery to repair arthritis damage to my right hand.  But despite the surgery and the time off for recovery,  you can see some of this past year's work in my New Work Gallery.

Summer 2011 sale

  Every year I plan to have several new pieces to show at the Philadelphia Invitational Furniture Show.  Many of those “spec” pieces are crafted from some of the most unusual materials I have uncovered and inspire the commissions that come from clients who have seen them at the show. See the sale pieces here.
