Furniture Maker Timothy Clark Handmade Windsor Benches, Nakashima Inspired

About the Item

Master furniture maker Timothy Clark handmade Windsor Benches. Shaker inspired... Waltham Benches with Arm Rail .custom leather seat and back pads. Poplar seat, cherry rails, ash spindles, legs and stretchers. Amazing quality and construction. Original custom made for prominent NYC restaurant. Measures: 27" arm height. Graduate of Middlebury college in 1985 with a B.A. in Spanish Language and Studio Art, I began making furniture professionally in 1986. The building process is very enjoyable to me and hand-tools are an important part of that. Spoke shaves and hand-planes leave me ankle deep in shavings as I shape chair parts or plane a table top flat. Building cabinets satisfies engineering inklings while building chairs quenches the desire to work sculpturally. My family has always been involved with wood. My father does construction as a hobby and my brother is an architect. I can remember my grandfather tinkering with furniture repair in his tiny shop on my great grandfathers workbench. Today I use that same bench. I design and build case pieces such as dressers, cabinets and tables as well as Windsor chairs which I have designed to be comfortable, pleasant to look at, enjoyable to build, and only of solid wood. I work alone or some- times with one assistant so each piece that I build gets my full attention. My work is very much influenced by Shaker furniture and traditional building techniques. Hand-cut dovetails, hand-planed table tops, and hand shaped chair parts are examples of this. These and other traditional building techniques make the building process more enjoyable as well as yielding a higher quality finished piece of furniture. I am sure that you'll be pleased with the results.
