The term animism is derived from the Latin word anima meaning breath or soul. From its earliest beginnings it was a belief that a soul or spirit existed in every object, even if it was inanimate. This spirit, therefore, was thought to be universal.
I feel that the furniture I build has this spirit. From the designs I draw to the lumber I handpick and cut into the wood that will eventually become your furniture. Every piece is handmade, hand sanded and hand finished. At every stage of building I care for each piece and am thinking of whom it is being built for. This imparts a spirit to every piece that is built in my wood shop. The furniture feels and looks different because it is different.
You might be able to find cheaper furniture made by computer controlled machines and spray finished in huge factories but you cannot find better furniture handmade here locally with love.
From my custom furniture to the antiques and vintage treasures that I find…bring things into your life and home that have a life of their own, a spirit of their own, and you will cherish them all the more.
Come in and find something unique!

Hi I’m Heather! Please email me, I have a question about your blog! LifesABanquet1(at)gmail.com
Good thinking, Joseph! I admire how you show your appreciation to all handmade furniture. I’m pretty sure handmade furniture makers, who’ll get to read this heartfelt article will feel truly special and thankful about you commending their skills. On the other hand, they deserve it.
