Furniture and woodworking

in Milford, NH

I’m a self-taught woodworker, operating out of a small shop in Milford, NH. My dream is not to make objects which are enjoyed and easily discarded, but items which can be of practical and sentimental use day after day, year after year.

I use a combination of hand and power tools, and every piece is finished with long-lasting, food-safe products.

You can find my work for sale at Union Coffee on South St, where my first project was on new tables for the café.

Pictured, my first solo furniture project, "Sumikko," made of one piece of Cuban mahogany with steel legs.

Huge thanks to Maddie Balch for the photos, it's great to have these as a capstone for this project.

Some recent work, much of these have already found their homes. Last slide is a little preview of another project I'm working on. And if you want a real sneak peak I have a web site now with photos of a big completed project I haven't shown here (waiting on professional photos).
Some new work, this olivewood bowl wasn't dry when I got the blank, which presented some new challenges. Usually you'd turn it to its approximate shape and let it dry. I took off too much material here, and didn't leave myself enough to turn it back
Some new work, this olivewood bowl wasn't dry when I got the blank, which presented some new challenges. Usually you'd turn it to its approximate shape and let it dry. I took off too much material here, and didn't leave myself enough to turn it back to round. The drying process also left some cracks on the exterior as it warped, which I filled with black filler. I really like the effect, and I'm really proud of the final product. The finish came out great, and I hope you can all see it before it sells. Available at Union Coffee this weekend.
My next little batch of pens is at Union now, the wood I made these from came with certificates of authenticity to pass along with the sale. I'm proud of these, and I hope you have the chance to feel how well these came out. I've been hard pressed to
My next little batch of pens is at Union now, the wood I made these from came with certificates of authenticity to pass along with the sale. I'm proud of these, and I hope you have the chance to feel how well these came out. I've been hard pressed to keep up with the demand for these, so don't wait.
Two new pens fresh off the lathe, padouk and quilted maple. These are both spoken for, but I have more for you at @unioncoffeeco upstairs.

Now available, my first batch of turned goods. It's a small collection, so come see it before they all sell. A huge thank you to Maddie for the photos, it was a lot of fun.

This little cup was a pleasure to turn. I had a plan going in and I managed to keep my initial vision in mind throughout. Inspired by my @fellowproducts coffee mug I wanted to make something of a similar shape. The cherry was easy to work with and yo
This little cup was a pleasure to turn. I had a plan going in and I managed to keep my initial vision in mind throughout. Inspired by my @fellowproducts coffee mug I wanted to make something of a similar shape. The cherry was easy to work with and you can see some really cool stuff going on in the grain. Last photo shows the cups side by side.
Something a little different. I didn't expect to enjoy turning as much as I do, but it's relaxing, and at the end of the day I (usually) walk away with a complete item, whereas furniture making is a more complex process. I'm looking forward to making

Job's done. After months of work the final tables are in at @unioncoffeeco. I want to thank @tristeaux_makes and @thealtitudeengravingco for all their help. These wouldn't look nearly as good without them. And thank you, Dave, for the opportunity to

This is probably my favorite detail from this project. The way the complex grain comes together and changes color, it's really stunning. Sanded to 400, and finished with @odiesoil

The earliest photos I have from this project. Laying inlays, planning out which panels would go where, coming up with design ideas. These from August of 2021, almost a year ago.
