The Tremont Artwalk takes place monthly every 2nd Friday. My studio is located at the end of Professor.
I will be in my studio to answer any questions that you may have about designing and building a piece of furniture. I also do small repairs and refurbishing on a piece that you may have.

If you like sushi and dinner for 2 - Japanese style - the original design sushi table featured at the bottom of my home page may interest you. pdw

Chairs that have comfort and aesthetic form

I made this Biedermeier style chair (top picture) from an antique example featured in the picture below. Can you recognize the 2 originals from the 2 replicas?
The curved back has an inlay of bird's eye maple.
The body is made of european cherry wood which is lighter and less amber than american cherry.
I specialize in making replicas of classical chairs.

windsor chair

I used handtools to make the spindles and frame of this chair.

$ 950.oo (depending on the size and design of the windsor which may be modified based on what you would like to use it for.)

The back spindles curve to make the backsupports quite comfortable and the seat is softly upholstered.

shaker style sewing table

This shaker inspired table with a candlestick style base is very versatile and can be used as a little entrance table, a place to put the phone, letters, keys etc.

It is made of cherry wood which was oiled and waxed to bring out the beautiful wood grain. The drawers are dovetailed by hand and the knobs were handturned. They can be accented with different types of wood eg. walnut or maple. The diameter of the tabletop can also be changed based on the planned us of the piece.

$ 750.oo

cement table and studio chair

this table measuring 3 feet by 5 feet and was commisioned by a local business man who wanted office furniture to blend with the industrial location of his business in downtown Cleveland. The chair was designed as a signature piece for the entrance area - bold lines and materials with some purposeful compromise of comfort!
