fine woodworking

I have several years of woodworking experience, including creating archival frames for artwork, restoring antique furniture, and building custom storage units, bookshelves and other furniture.

Below are a few work samples, including an 11-foot tall set of shelving/doors built into a Manhattan apartment, bespoke shelving for an Apple+ TV show, and bedroom where I executed the upholstered ceiling and built-in bed and desk furniture.
