Custom Woodworking.
Original, curated designs.
“If I seem to be equating products with ideas, it is because every manmade object embodies the worldview from which it originates.” -Peter Korn, Why We Make Things & Why It Matters
Located in Chicago’s west side, James Kearney discovered a latent love for woodworking in 2016. Self-taught and motivated by the magic of imagining something in the brain and willing it into existence through an age-old craft, he has sought to bring beautiful things into homes with the combined effort of his and the customer’s vision. From antique restorations to modern built-ins, every piece has meticulous care and effort molded into the process. Let us help your space stand out with something noteworthy.
