| Custom, Hand-crafted FurnitureWelcome to Plane Answers. I hand-craft custom furniture - specializing in tables, rockers, cabinets, and bedroom furniture. Please explore the photo gallery for samples of my custom furniture. I can make exactly what you see here, customize what you see, or create something entirely new. Please let me know what you want or ask any question. Enjoy the journey. Furniture Highlight - Cherry Shaker Side Table - It is with great pleasure that I hand-crafted this Shaker Style Cherry Side Table to benefit The American Cancer Society Relay for Life. This special event takes place in Perry Township - Massillon, Ohio May 30-31 2008. (For information, call the American Cancer Society toll free at (888) 227-6446. The Web site is www.cancer.org. ) This table is a small token donation for a most worthy goal. Everyone knows someone who is affected by cancer. In fact, you probably know several. Just last year, my wonderful sister, Mary Mihna, died of breast cancer. It is in her loving memory that I made this table. It is made of locally grown cherry and maple. It features time-honored joinery (mortise and tenon joints on legs and rails, dovetailed drawers, and pegged, breadboard edge on the top). It is finished with clear, polyurethane and paste wax so that the natural beauty of the cherry is on display. Over time, it will age to a beautiful dark, red color.
My MissionMy goal is to build the most beautiful furniture possible. God Almighty created the trees which produces the wood. It is my privilege to take what is already perfect and shape it into furniture that is functional, comfortable, and beautiful. Company/Artist Profile
I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio and have lived here for my entire life. Most of my furniture projects are made from wood that is grown in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Black Cherry, Maple, and Oak are my favorites and I am grateful that these woods are plentiful here. Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with wood. I love that God made trees to help us live and breathe. He made them to give us food, shade, life-saving drugs, building materials, etc. I love that I can take wood from a tree that has already given so much and shape it into furniture. The beauty and function of the tree lives beyond its own lifetime- something for which all of us should strive. Contact Information
