About us

I have been self-employed as a furniture maker since 1977. I grew up in Chapel Hill and have lived here except for my time away at college. I attended Brown University and was graduated from there in 1975. I am largely self-taught as a woodworker. Most of what I build is custom furniture. I like building custom furniture because each piece is different and presents its own challenges. With the challenges come the solutions. The solutions often involve a complex interplay amongst aesthetics, the function and affordability. People come to me with some idea of what they want. It may as specific as “Here is a picture of what I want, Can you build it for me?” or as undefined as “I want a bed and I don’t have any idea about how I want it to look.” We then develop and refine the design together. Once we determine the design, I come up with a price to build it. I like to involve my clients in the design process. This insures that they get a piece of furniture which suites them and their needs and also gives them a sense of ownership of the piece

Workmanship is very good.  Professionalism could use some polishing.  Got defensive when asked for itemized break down of costs/estimate; said it would take him an entire day.  Turns out it only took a few hours and thus he made out better than most lawyers when you consider cost of supplies and labor/hr.

This was a small job--we needed to repair our dresser. Instead of throwing the dresser out, we thought it would be more environmentally conscious to repair it. Jim was willing to take on our small job, completed it quickly, and was a pleasure to work with. He gave us multiple estimates for different repair options, so he didn't lock us into the highest cost work. We appreciated that. I would recommend him!

Jim built a magnificent dining room table for us, from a batch of curly maple he acquired locally. I wanted a trestle table; his design was much more elegant and offered the same kneecap-saving style. Little touches like the lock-in hardware that pulls the leaves in tight, and the feet that keep it from marring the wood floor, add to the satisfaction. Everybody who comes over says "Wow!"

Both pieces are custom fit to our family room and have transformed the area. Lines are clean and simple. Jim's work was meticulous. I was able to be somewhat flexible with timing between getting the estimate and drawing and the cabinetry work being ready to install.
