hand crafted furniture

About Randall O'Donnell

To make pieces that have the same presence as fine originals, it is necessary to do our own sawing, kiln drying, and lumber handling. From the finest logs, nothing is subcontracted.

From the smallest secondary wood, to the most intricately carved parts, no apprentice or employee is involved. The techniques I use are the same as those found in the finest urban shops of early America. Hand scraped surfaces, mortise and tenon joints and hand cut dovetails. Each shell, ball and claw foot, drawer front and finial, every leg and moulding is hand carved, one at a time, in the traditional manner.

The photographs illustrate the ingredients of design and proportion, the rare woods, the detailed carving, fine joinery and incredible deep finish. These are demonstrative of my commitment to accept no compromise. This commitment assures your investment potential.

You will find my furniture to be the finest, and a cherished investment to pass on to the next generation.
