Along with snapshots and memories of a charming Vermont vacation, Margot brought home the unique piece of custom furniture that she had been searching for and forged a new friendship with its designer, Bob - a master furniture craftsman and Vermont artisan with over 28 years of furniture building excellence.

Bob's work, featured in Better Homes and Gardens Magazine and on Public Television, includes a wide array of design styles ranging from fine antique reproductions, his own period pieces to custom contemporary designs and unique custom painted and fantasy grained furniture fashioned after pieces made in the 18th-19th century.

Each piece crafted offers not only the functionality and durability that you expect from fine hand-crafted furniture but also a level of artistry that will surprise and excite you.

Using traditional design techniques and only the highest quality materials such as tiger maple, mahogany, cherry and hand planed pine, Bob creates furniture designed for today's needs that will most certainly become the antiques of tomorrow.

The warm hues, rich graining, and inherent strength found in Bob's work is complemented by the care taken in the crafting of these practical pieces of art.

Whether you seek a traditional Queen Anne style table like your grandmother once had, a contemporary chest or bed that caught your eye in a design magazine, Bob can design a custom piece that best suits your needs, while creating an heirloom to be passed down for generations to come.
