"I have always had an appreciation for fine woodwork, architectural and furniture. I am comforted by the resilient feel underfoot of a fine wood floor and the soft smoothness of a well used handrail. I am most drawn to pieces that emphasize the natural beauty of the grain and figure of wood and to simple and functional designs of everyday utilitarian objects such as seen in the Shaker heritage and the work of George Nakashima and Sam Maloof. I work with both power and hand tools to produce furniture that is pleasing to the eye, satisfying to the touch and functional in use."
While Gary's rocking chair is no longer in the gallery, we are able to take special orders. If you are lucky enough to have sat in one of his chairs while they were here, you'll know this is one of the most special rocking chair makers in the country! Please call for details, as Gary is able to make a chair using your specific body dimensions!
