    PROCESS

    Here are some images showing various construction techniques that I use in the furniture-making process. I continue to use the same methods my father used. Whether antiquated or not, I still use all the old machinery and many of his old forms to help in the process. As father said to me, "time is care." Furniture-making can be a slow and methodical process, but ultimately it is the process that counts.
