Fully hand carving gives a deep and detailed beauty to a piece which literally can not be duplicated. It has a higher appreciation value because it is artisan labor not machine labor. Every Karges piece is a beautiful investment. The Karges line is very diverse with virtually no standardized drawer sizes. We make each drawer to fit a specific case.
Construction is of solid red oak with dovetail joints in front and back.
Look for dovetails at front and back, undersides free of knots, and wooden glides. Feel the smooth inside edges. All cabinetmakers readily admit this joint is the menace of furniture construction as it tends to easily crack open, break loose, and cause warping. Knowing this, Karges craftsmen designed and developed the unique double-spline joint. Used exclusively by Karges, this joint has 15 times the gluing surface than its closest competitor, the double-dowel joint.
