I use traditional, tried and true construction techniques such as mortise and tenon and dovetail joinery. These joints have been used for thousands of years and they work. I guarantee my furniture for a lifetime because I know it will last a lifetime and more. I've been in business since 1982 and I haven't had more than 3 or 4 customers who needed to use this guarantee and those were for very minor problems. I do not use veneered plywood for some parts, such as case sides, to cut costs.
Veneered plywood is prone to chipping and peeling.
We've all seen pieces of furniture with chipped or peeling veneer and know that it's not a pretty sight. The wood for each and every piece of furniture that I build is carefully chosen to insure that the grain and color match as closely as possible. Large table tops and case sides are glued up using lumber as wide as possible. Many manufacturers will glue up narrow, unmatched strips of wood only 2-4 inches wide to make up these parts. My furniture designs are based on classic furniture designs which will not go out of style in 3 to 5 years.
