Floating Stone Woodworks

General information

Floating Stone Woodworks is a custom furniture shop in New Bedford Massachusetts specializing in handcrafted tables, bookcases, consoles, case pieces and benches. Every piece of furniture is built and finished individually. The joints are precision cut and hand fitted. The finish is hand rubbed oil and varnish or french polished shellac. Each piece is signed and dated. I use highly figured hardwoods sourced from FSC certified dealers who buy only from managed, renewable forests - quarter-sawn white oak, cherry, maple and walnut. I don't use plywood or veneers and limit the use of imported woods, such as mahogany and teak. The boards for each piece are carefully selected to match figure, pattern and grain. If desired, I will show the lighter shaded "sap-wood" in cherry and walnut tabletops because of the wonderful color patterns it creates.
