Your piece will last for generations. Paul's stylistic influences include the following:


Shaker Style Furniture
Characterized by clean lines, simple balanced design and an elegant functionality, Shaker style is timeless. Based on the spiritual principles and hardworking ethic of the Shaker people, Shaker style furniture brings an essential harmony to the home or business environment.













Queen Anne Style Furniture
Queen Anne style offers a sophisticated decorative look, characterized by uplifting lines, delicate carvings and ornate hardware. Dark-toned finishes add richness and elegance to living and working spaces.






Contemporary Style Furniture
The tradition of woodworking continues to evolve in the present day. Characterized by sleek lines, concealed hardware and often striking contrasts between the color, tone or texture of materials, contemporary (or 'Euro') styling brings elegance, functionality and savvy to the home or business setting.
