LOCUST GROVE WOODWORKS

I have been building fine quality furniture and wood products since 1982. I have had an unusual journey, having been a part of the Amish and related Mennonite groups for most of my life. Their legendary ascetical worldviews had a profound influence on my work and manner of construction... Though never a part of a Shaker community, this past religious movement also had its effect and influence on my developing and continued work. Shaker founder Mother Anne Lee's pronouncement to "Build as though you were to live a thousand years, but as though you were to die tomorrow" fit well with my aspirations... Locust Grove Woodworks provides handcrafted, traditional furniture in the Shaker and Colonial styles.
