OUR STORY The late 1930’s and early 1940’s were a period of turmoil and uncertainty. Many of the lifelong dreams of hard working men and women came crashing down as World War II took its toll. My grandfather was one of many men who took pride in what he could create with his bare hands, his vision and his imagination. As an accomplished carpenter for most of his life, he knew the characteristics of great furniture making. He appreciated detail, fine tools, intricate inlays and master craftsmanship.
OUR PRODUCTS There are so many interesting ways to bring together today’s tools with our traditional craftsmanship skills. Imagine how inspiring the creations must be. We value quality, history and elegance to bring you today’s diverse product lines. Although each piece is unique, it carries the tradition of the noble pursuit of my grandfather and others of his same generation.
