Superior Craftsmanship
Floating Tops
Constructing furniture using solid hardwoods requires a
high degree of technical accuracy and craftsmanship.
Solid wood components must be allowed to expand and
contract in order to prevent cracking and ensure
structural integrity. One of the key methods of
construction, to allow the natural movement, is using
metal clips to attach tabletops and other panels. These
clips have slots which allow for the natural movement of
the wood.
Dovetailed Drawer
An heirloom technique used over the centuries,
dovetailing involves cutting interlocking grooves into
the drawer front and side panel which ensures long
lasting durability even with daily use. Drawers also
feature either wood glides (pictured), or metal glides,
and drawer stops for ease of use and safety. Drawers
are constructed entirely of solid wood
Dutchman Patches & Butterfly Joints
Often in reclaimed wood, there is the necessity to patch
portions of the raw material that were used previously in
old buildings, furniture, etc. Care is taken to match
grains and coloration as close as possible. However,
these patches are often noticeable but reflect the
extreme craftsmanship necessary to work with
reclaimed materials. Butterfly joints are used in solid
wood to strengthen panels and other components
where cracks may be present. Adding quality, beauty
and uniqueness to each piece.
