Our work is the work of dedicated, talented craftsmen. Michael and Judy are self-taught, and have been involved in creative furniture making since 1984. Our three children have been taught by us, and work full time in the shop. We live very rural, and practice sustainability at every level. As we produce our own wood, we also produce 90% of our food. Each summer we plant 2 acres of garden and orchard. With this, we fill several 24 cu. Ft. freezers and several thousand canning jars.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE, MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, AND SUSTAINABILITY IS ABSOLUTE.
We have no desire to chase the ephemeral treasures of greater production and ever-increasing volume. Our satisfaction and contentment is undeniably evident in our work.

Quartered White Oak with Traditional MORTISE and TENON Joinery throughout.Clever adaptation of the antique Stickley ," Drop Arm", used extensively on antique Stickley, Roycroft, and other Morris Chairs.

This is a fine example of Classic Arts & Crafts styling
adapted to a Podium / Pulpit / Lectern.The matching, sister piece to this Podium was built for the Governor's Reception Room in the Arkansas Capitol in Little Rock.Carefully selected and matched components, for a balanced and pleasing look.

WE REALIZE THAT DEALING WITH AN UNKNOWN, DISTANT OR NEW SELLER, ESPECIALLY ON AN ITEM COSTING SEVERAL HUNDRED TO SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS, OFTEN REQUIRES A GREAT LEAP OF FAITH.....NOT TO WORRY....EVER....WITH US. YOUR INTEREST AND CONCERNS ARE OURS. WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN CUSTOMER CARE THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED.
