Services
Working with precious, beautiful, heavy and wide slabs of wood requires patience, knowledge of the materials and, on occasion, extra hands. Each slab of wood-like a new acquaintance-has its own personality. Some are cooperative, some stubborn, some a joy and others want to make you scream. The goal in wood-as in life-is to bring out the best.
I've been a furniture maker for over 34 years and have had my studio here in downtown, historic Chestertown. Over the years, many visitors have remarked that I am lucky to be able to do what I do for a living. I believe that underlying what they tell me is their own wish to make something with their hands, to spend time in a shop like mine, use the equipment and be able to say, "I made that."
