A young Missouri self taught craftsman who does outstanding work in several media.
His bookcase, bookstand, chest, clocks, cabinets, mirrors and tables shown here are usually crafted in quarter-sawn white oak although Brett also works with African mahogany and other hardwoods on request.
His joinery is mortise and tenon both thru and blind. Drawers are dovetail. Joints are splined. All the right woodworking techniques for good craftsmanship.

Bretts craftsmen stains are (L to R above):
Eastwood (previously his Dark Craftsman Finish), a deep rich red with copper color quarter-sawn flake
East Aurora (previously his Medium Craftsman Finish), a lighter version of the Eastwood Finish, Burnt Orange with copper color quarter-sawn flake
Walnut (new, not available on Mahogany pieces), a deep brown with golden quarter-sawn flake
Ebonized Oak (new, not available on Mahogany pieces), a rich black with chocolate quarter-sawn flake.
Custom stain colors are also available on request. Brett finishes his pieces with a high quality catalized lacquer which is then waxed and buffed for a nice even finish.
Mirrors have a wire for hanging.
On occasion Brett has some pieces in stock, but more often than not Brett builds to order and a 50% deposit is required with your order.
Shipped from Missouri, based on Brett's workload the lead time can vary from 2 to 8 weeks which we can better estimate when you place your order.
Brett also accepts commissions; please call for contact information.
