A Breed Apart

Woodworkers are a breed of their own. We like the smell of fresh cut wood, the pungent odors of turpentine and finishes, and the glow of finely finished wood surfaces.

We look at the beautiful grain and try to imagine what could be made out of that piece of wood. Whether we’re looking at deep, rich, cherry wood, golden oak, dark intricate figures in striped walnut, or any of the beautiful maple varieties, we imagine great looking pieces of hand-made furniture or decorative art.

To us the fine craftsmanship in a solid wood furnishing holds a charm that no amount of pressed wood factory furniture ever would. While most manufactured furniture may be functional in the short term, it’s only the hand-finished, lovingly cared for, pieces that become the antiques and heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation. Woodworkers are more than measure, cut, and build folks…we’re creators of the best that survives through the years.

If you’d like to see some of the best craftsmanship still being produced today, go to many of the woodworking forums. Be sure to check the gallery sections.

Museums of modern art and crafts also have excellent examples of the woodworkers art and craftsmanship.

Woodworkers are a breed apart in many ways. We take pride in what we produce. No amount of time or elbow grease spent rubbing out a beautiful finish is too high a price to pay.

We will spend hours refining our own design ideas to create a unique finished product with our own hands just for the joy of it. We create a living legacy for our loved ones and find immortality by passing our skills on to future generations.
