Honest timber. Meticulous joinery.

I build custom architectural built-ins and cabinetry from my Portland workshop. Working on one project at a time, I ensure every mortise and tenon is cut with absolute precision.

/ The Philosophy

Uncompromising materials.

True joinery relies on the natural integrity of solid timber. I reject quick-fix fillers and synthetic laminates in favor of traditional techniques that endure.

Every cabinet and timber detail begins with hand-selecting grain-matched boards. By using mortise-and-tenon joints instead of metal fasteners, the wood breathes and settles naturally over generations.

The Method

From timber to oil

Timber Selection

Hand-Tool Joinery

Dustless Fitting

We visit local mills together to hand-select grain-matched solid wood boards that fit your home's light and temperature.

Each joint is cut and planed by hand in my Portland workshop, ensuring structural integrity without relying on metal fasteners.

Installation uses advanced HEPA filtration tools. Your custom built-ins are fitted precisely with zero disruption or airborne dust left behind.
