This is a site dedicated to woodworking with mesquite and the Arts & Crafts era. The furniture projects include a mesquite rocking horse, a mesquite morris chair, a mesquite bookcase and much more. Items specifically relating to the Arts and Crafts era include articles on William Morris, Gustav Stickley and the Greene Brothers to name only a few.
I began working with wood just before my son was born. My first piece was a rocking horse, to celebrate the expected arrival. I found that I fell in love very quickly with both my son and crafting fine objects from wood. For a trip to my page about the wonderful hardwood mesquite, click here. I do occasionally sell furniture items and mesquite lumber , but really build for the thrill of it.
I became interested in the A&C era by happenstance. I had built a chiffonier for my son's room from a plan I drew myself. When I found the right hardware, it was a reproduction of Stickley's hardware. I found out in this way that most of the stuff I drew up fit into this period of design. Hundreds of books and magazines later, I have a strong affinity for this period and am taken by the life style it prescribes.
Included in some of the other pages are a few of the things that I have spent my time on. I also give you my opinion of the pros and cons of some of the tools that I have some experience with.
If you are interested in owning a one-of-a-kind heirloom, visit my price list page.
