New Artisans of the Week

Help me welcome to some of the newest CustomMade members for this week!

Dan Mosheim of Dorset Custom Furniture

“…They always seem to have this mysterious sense of substance to them when they are completed. The wood is dark and deep and totally unpredictable in its grain and color. We like the steel bases too. This one is cut from 1.75” thick steel plate and looks a little shinier in the picture above than it is in person. There was a little sunlight sneaking in the door when I took the picture and, reflected off the floor, it made the base look pretty impressive.

Paul Gorman of Paul Gorman Furniture


“Made with European Beech and Basswood. The door panels are cleverly cut to be proud of the frame and are still captured within the frame.
