About Our Company
		eginning in 1979 at a wood boatyard in Friendship and continuing 5 1/2 years, through 1986, at Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers then of New Gloucester and Auburn, Maine, I acquired a diverse knowledge of traditional and contemporary woodworking techniques. I learned to make things well; I learned to make beautiful things.       Since January, 1987 I've been in business for myself and continue in the tradition in which I was trained here in the Upper Connecticut Valley region of Vermont. My goal is to make good furniture, beautiful and functional. I hope this web site conveys the care I take, the talent I provide, the effort I take to please my customers, and the joy it gives me when I succeed
		With the possible exception of sanding I love every aspect of my job: designing, handcrafting, and the interaction with customers. I make CUSTOM (your design), REPRODUCTION (copies or adaptations of existing styles), and my own ORIGINAL DESIGNS; I love the constant challenge and encourage you to draw upon the full breadth of my abilities. I am in business to make those items you can't quite find. I am here to make the furniture of your dreams be they simple or complex.       The photos displayed in this web portfolio should give you a feel for what I can do. Please do not feel limited by or to what you see here. More than half my business are orders for custom and one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture; I would be happy to work with you to design and or to price something completely different. The items you see here were professionally photographed. I have at least as many amateur photographs I would be happy to show. Let me know what you seek and I will forward any representative images by "e" or "snail" mail, whichever works best for you.       Over the past 12 years I have designed a number of pieces which sell over and over. These are organized under the icon "Ming Shaker Line" and include a bed, a bench, chairs, dining, coffee, and occasional tables, and a desk. In addition to the items pictured I have plans for a sideboard, end table with drawer, and a chest of drawers with similar details. As they are built they will be photographed and included in this site. In the meantime I would be happy to send a copy of the drawings.
