JOHN CALLENTINE

I'm a self-taught custom furniture builder, designer, and home builder with over 40 years of experience. I work mainly in the Craftsman style using traditional mortise and tenon and dovetail joinery. I like to use contrasting woods, with mesquite being a favorite for accents. I personally design, build, and finish everything that leaves my shop... I build beautiful handcrafted custom furniture, doors, and cabinets and personally construct and finish each signature item. My pride of workmanship begins with the art of wood selection, wherein each piece of wood is meticulously chosen to ensure that it's beautiful and unique qualities will contribute to the harmony of the whole. Grain patterns are painstakingly matched, all joinery executed with precision, and each creation is flawlessly finished by hand, yielding smooth, unmistakable results.
