We have a lot to be thankful for these days. Something I haven’t talked a lot about is who I have helping me with these projects. Its Axel and I in the wood shop but also our good friend Josh is doing all of our metal fabrication. The three of us have been friends since we were 13. Which I think is pretty cool.
Something about making things you interact with bring me the most joy. Chairs are near the top of the list. They are by far the most challenging for the same reason. The balance of elegance and strength is a rewarding challenge to pursue.
I teamed up with for the seats and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Looking forward to more collaborations
Today in the shop.
Hey! It’s pretty nice out. Walk the extra block and come check out some of the new items in the showroom!
Chairs in the early spring might be the best chairs.

Just finished up this install for an amazing local family. I’m super happy with how everything turned out.
The best part is when all the work is done and you finally get to see the vision come together.
Sheryl at composed a beautiful and unique design for this bathroom and I’m really appreciative to be able to contribute. Vanity and shelf in Alder.

Here's the fun part: we're creating a special altar together! Bring a little something special—it could be anything close to your heart—to add to the alter to welcome the light. Let's gather, share, and celebrate together.
It's all happening at 1259 Main Ave. See you there!
We have four bathrooms to do in this remodel. Here are the first two. I’m mclovin how they are Feelin
I love how these turned out. Oak storage cabinet. Paired super well with these granite tops. Shoutout on the collab!
Standing bar w/steel foot rail.
Worked up a run of big boys. Walnut cutting boards worthy of your thanksgiving prep. These ones are at Sunny Side Market in Durango! They’ll go fast.
We are in the coffee table business! Got a couple fresh out of the kitchen. Hot n ready. Send me a message if your staring at your living room thinking it’s not nearly as cool as it could be.
Hope your all well!
Circles are so in right now.
This design is definitely making it to the website.
Quick preview of a couple walnut coffee table tops I’ll have up for sale soon. Feel free to message me if interested.
.co gave a lot of thought into how this room was going to come together and the experience that her client has. She chose us to do the custom work. That kind of opportunity means a lot to me. Here’s my favorite angle from the photo shoot.
Collaboration with a good friend of mine. These legs take a simple table and make it pop.
Whatcha think?
Finishing up the drawers for this walnut vinyl cabinet. Today I’ll be assembling the cabinet. I haven’t made this design in a couple years so it’s been fun to revisit it with some of the new techniques I’ve acquired.
See you on the other side
This Walnut coffee table was showing off this morning. One of a handful of projects headed out the door this week.
Custom alder vanity- this one required some woodworking gymnastics on the install but we pulled it off.
And the best part is the client loved it!
Client review-
“ We would highly recommend working with Jesse and look forward to doing so ourselves in the future. We wanted a bathroom vanity that would not only be beautiful, but would fit into an odd space and Jesse delivered beyond our expectation. He took the time to make sure all the details were perfect, he had creative solutions and the finished product is even better than we had hoped for! The quality of craftmanship, the attention to detail, the beauty of the wood, Jesse's communication and passion for his work all came together and we are thrilled. Working with Jesse was a wonderful experience all around!”
New end table design, steel and walnut is a slam dunk combo.
And here’s its little friend. Also was a tree.
This table was a tree like a year and a half ago. It’s so grown up now. Time flys.
I was topping off the display at and a nice man took my photo.
I made this and this and this. Neat right!
Can’t take credit for the countertop though. That would be fine craftsmanship. They nailed it! And the whole bathroom looks awesome. Big time collab from the house crew.
This is the 10th arm chair in existence, first one in black leather. Happy double digits hot stuff!
If my arm chair design and bench design had a baby it would grow up to be cooler than either of its parents. I’m all about the new generation.
