About Woodcraft, Inc...
Custom projects in any style
In our 5000 square foot shop close to downtown Portland, we build custom
projects in wood designed by architects, as well as our own custom
designs. Whether an historic restoration or a contemporary expression,
each project is executed according to the highest standards of our art.
An old-fashioned apprenticeship
I learned my craft the old-fashioned way. Beginning as a furniture
maker’s apprentice in 1975, I subsequently worked as a studio artist, a
builder of commercial projects (from corporate offices to pipe organs
and trolley cars), an industrial designer, and a finish carpenter. For a
solo woodworker, I felt I had done it all.
Pride in teamwork
Today my great satisfaction is in teaching my own apprentices. I have
made it my practice to train my workers personally, to ensure the
highest standards. I teach them a broad range of woodworking techniques
and encourage them to be guided by pride in their own workmanship. They
have grown into a skilled and experienced team capable of handling any
project, large or small, with old-time craftsmanship, artistic detail,
and professional polish. |
