Rocker

As an artisan and veteran from Arlington, I understand what local and authentic mean to artists and patrons in Virginia. Every item I build is hand made and original. I am thankful for the opportunity to demonstrate items ranging from $50 to $20,000, and everything in between. From cutting boards to high-end rocking chairs, dressers, dining tables and chairs, I build authentic furniture from sustainable local Virginia hardwoods. Contrary to the usual, I will ask every patron to sit in one of my rocking chairs and dining chairs - both original designs that sculpt to your back and make for a comfortable meal or relaxation. No booth should be a museum; mine will be a place for people to sit, touch, and marvel at what local woods can become. I often combine natural-edge, heartwood, and sapwood in the same piece to bring a stunning sense of art and fluidity.
