Shaker chairs

Last September 22 we posted a picture of these Shaker chairs as they had been built and were ready to go into the Finishing process.
Today, after 17 days of sanding, oiling, and rubbing they have been delivered to our Festival Mall Showroom. Made of Philippine Mahogany wood expertly and carefully handcrafted and finished in the Artisan tradition of pure hand-rubbed oil, we have again recreated two classic, heirloom pieces.

Wild Grain Mahogany Chairs

These wild grain Mahogany chairs are available in a set of 8 to 10, made of Plantation Philippine Mahogany with stripy and curly grain.
We have chosen to highlight the unique grain characteristics of each piece by finishing them in pure hand-rubbed oil. This is an old artisan finishing process of repeatedly rubbing and soaking the piece in finishing oil to bring out the natural luster of the wood. Only very light stain was applied to the backs of these chairs and no sealers or lacquers were used.
This is a one of a kind set. We cannot take orders for this. There is only one set and once it's gone, it's gone.

Shaker Rocking Chair

Its time to rock! We have just brought our Classic Shaker Reading Chair back to its origin as a Rocking Chair! Today it is assembled and will go into the sanding and oiling process, no cutting corners, pure hand-rubbed oiling that will make it smooth as silk inside and out. Watch out for the first sample in 10 days. Yes that is what it takes and maybe more, weather permitting, to build up the deep luster of pure hand-rubbed oil.

Wild Grain Mahogany Chairs

We do not always have nice exotic grains available in our Mahogany wood so when we do we want to show their rich natural beauty which is heightened by the deep luster of our pure hand-rubbed oil finish. If you love wood check this out. Coming soon. We hope to complete a set 8.

Beauty is more than skin deep

Here's a picture of our Carrasco sofa in production. We don't cheat by using cheap wood where it can't be seen. The same premium grade mahogany wood that can be seen on the outside is inside. This is what sets our quality apart from the rest.
Here's the finished product!
