Are you an interior designer or home-owner looking for just the right statement piece? Often, custom-made furnishings and decor are the only option for the space you are designing. Whether it's Industrial, Federal, Chippendale, or something eclectic, I can make it happen.
Replica's
Finding a photo of the project you have in mind is much easier than finding the thing itself. Sometimes you need a replica. If you can provide a photo of a project, I can replicate it.
Repairs and refinishing
To be clear, not every furniture piece can be repaired or refinished, and sometimes repairing it hurts its value more. Old furniture often has character that would be ruined by refinishing it. Touch-ups might be better. Sometimes less is more.
Free consultations
I'd be happy to sit down with you or set up a call and discuss exactly what you're looking for. Often, this is a very helpful exercise. We can talk design, dimensions, budget... Whatever you need to get what you're looking for.
Many times, function informs design. In addition to being a fully-functional, fine-woodworking shop, I also do some minor metal work. From a design standpoint, I often prefer something that looks unique, custom, and has character than something store-bought. Shown here is a kitchen side table with a drawer pull made with what I had on-hand.
FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Joinery is the term used for joining wood together. In the past, this was done mostly without the use of mechanical fasteners. While modern fasteners are great, they don't quite have the allure, or at times the soundness, of old-fashioned wood-to-wood joinery. Shown here are my hand-cut, through dovetail joints.
FINE DETAILS
At BMM, details matter. This particular hand-carved detail is called a "Lamb's tongue". Details are often not noticed individually, but collectively they are what make a piece a "statement" piece.
FINE HISTORY
A few years ago, I embarked on a journey to learn craftsmanship as it once was. Making a violin seemed to have all the elements of historical craftsmanship I was looking for. It was a successful project, and really fulfilled my appreciation for the history of this art. Shown here is my second violin in progress.
BMM Workshop primarily serves Connecticut, rhode island, and Massachusetts
