Custom hardwood furniture for the Southwest.

I build every piece by hand in my workshop in Chamberino, New Mexico, in the Mesilla Valley, and I drive it to your home myself. Delivery is free across New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona. Dining tables, bookcases, cabinetry, consoles, and built-ins, designed with you for the room they're going into.

Built in the desert, for the desert

Every board is milled, dried, and finished in the dry Chihuahuan Desert air of the Mesilla Valley, so wood that's stable in Chamberino stays stable in dry Southwest homes.

One maker, sketch to delivery

No showroom, factory, or middlemen. We talk about the room, I sketch, you get a written quote with a price and a realistic schedule, and I build the piece myself. Every piece comes with a one-year guarantee on all labor.

Delivered by the person who built it

When a piece is finished, I load it into my truck and drive it to you. No freight carriers, no crate to break down in your driveway, and no damage claims to argue. Delivery is also available elsewhere in the U.S.

More than new furniture

Repair, restoration, and framing too.

Not every project starts from scratch. I repair and refinish chairs, tables, and family pieces, and I make museum-quality, hand-joined hardwood frames for artwork, photography, and heirlooms. Built-in cabinetry, mantels, doors, and gates are designed for your home and installed by the person who built them.

“I only had a humble job for this master craftsman, to repair 4 different vintage chairs I had collected, but he was happy to service them and charged me an excellent price. … It is rare to find a craftsman of his caliber out here in the edge of Texas-New Mexico. Highest possible recommendation!”

Common questions
Is delivery really free across the Southwest?

Yes. Delivery is free across New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona, and available throughout the rest of the U.S. Delivery details are covered in your written quote.

How do we design a piece if I live hours away?

It starts with a free phone call or email. Tell me about the room, how the piece will be used, and what you like. A rough idea and a photo or two is enough. We work through wood, finish, size, and design details together, and then I send a written quote.

How long does a commission take?

It depends on the design, the wood, and the size. Every client gets a realistic schedule up front, and I keep you updated along the way.

What does a custom piece cost?

Every piece is priced individually, because the wood, the design, and the hours are different every time. The first conversation is free, and every quote includes design help, material selection, and a one-year guarantee on all labor.
