J D Grove Signature Furniture

All my furniture is handcrafted by me, Joseph D. Grove. Making furniture is my passion. Cherry, red oak, tiger maple, and walnut wood choices are provided to attain the look you want. Each type of wood has its own character. Whether it is the strong grain of oak, mysterious stripes of tiger maple or the classic subtleness of cherry or walnut, each piece is unique.

When I was a young boy, I decided I wanted to be a cabinetmaker. I realized my love of the craft years later while making a coffee table with my father-in-law. He was meticulous in his joinery. He said, "If a razor blade will stick in a joint, it needs re-cut to fit properly." Uncompromising workmanship embellishes this fine furniture.

Following that philosophy, quality is of utmost importance. I use all solid hardwood and solid brass hardware. Mortise and tenon joinery for case assembly and dovetailed drawers (front and back) ensure lasting quality. The backs of my casework pieces are either ship-lapped or made of frames and panels which add to the overall rigidity of the piece.
