Furniture and Woodwork
Pictured below are some private projects and furniture commissions. All designs are original to the extent of my knowledge, and most are constructed from local hardwoods harvested and milled locally by myself or others. If you are interested in commissioning a furniture piece, please contact me via email, playbanjo@gmail.com.

What incredible work and timeless, clean pieces! I am interested in purchasing a set of walntu nesting tables like those you have in the pictures.

Your work is fantastic. Love the black walnut as a furniture wood especially. Incredible stuff.
All of this is great, but man, the alder console is cool.
