A bit of the Italian is detected in this classic Tuscany armoire of old world design.  Note the ornate hand carving in each of the grain matched panels.

Centuries have not improved on the
simple elegance of this Shaker design,
nor replaced the need for fine craftsmanship.

The buyer of this white oak desk requested
the five small drawers across the top...
a unique variation on a  traditional design in the style of
Gustav Stickley's Craftsman furniture from the early 20th century.

The desk - and matching bookcase below - 
are made from solid quartersawn fumed white oak
All the panels are bookmatched.

This view of the back and side show the
exquisite grain patterns that are only revealed in
carefully selected quarter sawn hardwoods.
All the panels are bookmatched.

Note the hardware - authentic hammered copper -
that is also featured on the matching bookcase below.

The beauty and satisfaction of owning hand crafted furniture
is simply not a benefit of mass produced items.


This entertainment center is Alder with a hand-rubbed oil finish.  The simplicity and functionality of the design imparts
warmth and a timeless sense of style.
