Using age-old building techniques, for style and function, Fred creates each custom built furniture piece with extremely strong joints. Many pieces are ‘knockdown’ designs and are easily disassembled and reassembled for ease of shipping. Your piece may include sliding dovetails, mortise and tenon joints, visible pegs and shims, and butterfly joints, often created with contrasting varieties of wood. Joints are built to ‘breathe’ with the seasons, allowing for a small amount of expansion and contraction.
