A custom or commissioned piece of furniture is a unique piece of functional art created for a specific place, person or use. Much of my work has come through commission and has allowed for me to create some amazing one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture. I enjoy the process of developing and designing custom work based on the specific needs of the client.

For over a year now, the gorgeous rocker pictured on your card has graced our living room. The beauty of the design and craftsmanship make it an outstanding piece of art, so we have placed it prominently for the pleasure of seeing it. The greatest pleasure, however, is using it. With my chronic back pain, the rocker is easily the most comfortable place in our home for me to sit.
This beautiful small cabinet was designed as a class piece that I taught. I decided to make these plans available to other who would like to create the piece as well. The piece functions as a excellent cabinet to hold small precious items. It has a Scandinavian influence in the design and packs a lot of technique and subtle design details.
A shooting board is a simple jig to hold small or thin stock in a certain orientation to achieve square edges or a desired angle. The Morley Shooting Board is invaluable for producing an accurate angle on the edge or end of a board while incrementally removing slivers of wood to make a piece fit just right.
