My name is Jay Slavec and the crafting of fine
furniture has been my profession for the last 15 years.
I have found great
satisfaction in visualizing, creating, and presenting one-of-a-kind, heirloom quality
furniture to a long list of satisfied clients.
The enjoyment that people experience when they see their original ideas as completed
pieces remains a source of personal pride and the enduring charm and quality of hand
crafted furniture provides clients and their families a source of pleasure for years to
come.
Having made my home here in southwest New Mexico, I started Gila River Woodworks in
1989 crafting Santa Fe style furniture exclusively to meet a high demand for these
attractive designs.
I continue to build in the Santa Fe style but also offer traditional and contemporary
designs and tailor my work to meet clients particular requirements. I now create in
almost any style of furniture - including original designs or complements to existing
pieces.
Often clients have a specific piece in mind when they call, although it is not
necessary to provide anything beyond an "idea." Gila River Woodworks
will work with your plans until achieving satisfaction. You are especially
encouraged to participate in the design process as this often leads to a more sensitive
apprecia- tion of the finished piece and a better integration with your existing style and
room design.
If you are interested in one-of-a-kind, lifetime quality, designed especially for you,
please contact Gila River Woodworks.
