Adjacent is an example of a typical joinery
technique used in our furniture.  While this
mortise and tenon joint is not visible from
the outside, it secures the joint in a manner
that will ensure the furniture remains intact
for generations to come.







All of our drawers are constructed using
interlocking dovetail joinery.  Additionally,
unless we are creating pieces that have
extensive dovetails, they are generally cut
by hand.  Pay particular attention to the
uneven spacing between the dovetails as
well as the marking gauge lines. These are
the hallmark of hand cut dovetails.







Door construction consists of mortise and
tenon joinery and slots for the door panels
to float in.  These traditional construction
techniques will ensure our furniture
withstands the test of time.










We prefer to use solid wood when
constructing wide panels, rather than
lesser grade laminated plywood.  













When applying unique details such as the
seashell carving or ball and claw foot, we
revert back to historic techniques.  Simply
put.... The chisel, mallet and elbow grease.  
Note that the entire leg is hand carved from
one piece of timber.
Construction Methods

Often times the difference between high quality furniture and less expensive,
mass produced furniture resides in the details that can not be seen with the naked
eye.
