A craft based, design focused approach to custom woodworking and fabrication. We collaborate with designers and end users on a wide range of demanding made-to-order work - from finely handmade pieces to large commercial projects, prototypes to production runs.
JLF combines a fine woodworking mindset with the the capabilities and infrastructure of a larger production shop - we can help engineer and build complex projects but love small challenges as well. Our skilled team combines decades of experience and a passion for making well crafted objects.
We use the highest quality material, and a mix of traditional and modern methods, ensuring your piece will be beautiful, functional, and long lived.
Our custom work spans a wide range of size, use, and complexity, any project where quality material and an eye for design and detail are important. See below for some specialties, and please reach out with any questions or ideas.
