To me a piece of furniture is like a book. It's my story of how I interpret the way my life and emotions are unveiling at that precise moment. It is an art form that grounds me to the things that I hold close to my heart.

 I feel that most of these gifts came from my parents. They gave me the ability to solve complicated tasks by breaking them down into small manageable goals. I took their nurturing and guidance to a higher level when  I  attended a technical high school and from that education developed into the cabinet maker I am today. A lot of my ideas on what I want to make come from museums, books, or from blue prints. I like to use blue prints by Charlie Lynch he goes into historical museums and copies period furniture in detail. I think he makes wonderful prints of period furniture like the corner cabinets you see below. I hope you find something you might enjoy. Remember, by clicking on the picture you can enlarge the picture for greater detail.
