I work directly with you in establishing your needs. Along with small tables and display cabinets,
                          I design and create wood art utilizing mixed media such as glass and metal. The display cabinets are
                          designed to showcase your prized collection or individual small art pieces. The smaller wood art can
                          support a small art object or simply become an art object in itself. Once you have decided on an
                          idea of a display cabinet to be the medium for your collection, I work with you to develop the
                          optimum sizing, interior layout, and select the woods to be used. There are models in my current
                          portfolio to base your cabinet design on. Wood art designs are often one of a kind and I can design
                          a piece based on preliminary sketching created in conjunction with you. Each of my designs is unique
                          and either very different or slightly different from each other. This design process is included in my
                          pricing. This also serves to ensure you are truly commissioning a one of a kind piece of furniture.

                          My pricing is composed of material costs and handcrafting time for the piece. Most, if not all pieces
                          are handcrafted over a 4-5 week period which allows for initial design work. The finishing process is
                          over a period of days. The commission stage involves creating a proposal after having determined
                          what effect or purpose you are trying to accomplish with the piece. A proposal is then drafted,
                          and if you accept, I proceed with a few sketches of the piece. Upon acceptance of a sketch and
                          drawing, a deposit is paid, with the balance due upon completion. Progress photos are available if
                          desired. The result, exactly what you desire!         

                          I work on one piece at a time to be able to focus on the quality of the piece. Woods used in the
                          construction of the piece are carefully selected and oriented to accentuate grain patterns.
                          I strive to create harmony in the woods used in the furniture piece. Door panels are book-matched
                          whenever possible to provide a striking, dramatic look to the cabinet facade. Small inlay can be
                          added to enhance the piece.

                          Designs which involve more complexity than normal also involve more handcrafting time, this will
                          be included in the price. I take pride in every piece of furniture and wood art that leaves my studio
                          and make the effort to ensure it is received correctly along with providing follow-up.
