What I Do

Please look at the photos in my Gallery to get an idea of my capabilities and interests. I prefer to work on well-defined, wood-based projects similar to the ones shown in the photos but I occasionally stretch my boundaries depending on the job at hand.

I specialize in custom, one-of-a-kind projects that are made to last with attention to detail and precise craftsmanship. When your project is complete, you’ll appreciate the dedication and care that went into it and the resulting creation of something that is uniquely yours.

Examples of things I do include the following:

  • Custom-build almost anything made with wood

  • Built-in cabinets and shelves

  • Fireplace mantels

  • Floating shelves

  • Wood furniture and repair

  • Banquette benches

  • Tables

  • Doors

  • Drawers

  • Veneers

  • Stain-matching

  • Chair rails

  • Handrails

  • Balusters

  • Newel posts

  • Window and picture frames

I am seriously allergic to cat dander and smoke; I cannot work in any environment with either one.
 
I am a one-man show. If your job is beyond my abilities, I will let you know upfront. In that event, I will try to refer you to someone who I think can responsibly handle your job.
