Taos Craftsman Rocking Chair
This rocking chair embodies our values in designing and building furniture. First and foremost, it is very comfortable and functional. Second, like all our furniture, it is constructed with mortise and tenon joinery and will last for several lifetimes. Finally, we think it is simply as nice to look at as it is to sit in.

Craftsman Dining Set
Furniture design in Taos has a surprisingly strong tradition. There was craftsman furniture revival in Taos during the Depression and Taos was the center of the revival of Southwest furniture in the 1970s and 80s. We came to love New Mexican and Craftsman furniture from that period, so Taos is a great place for our woodworking business.
The furniture of Northern New Mexico and Craftsman or Mission furniture had similar roots and themes. Simple and functional designs, mortise and tenon joinery, traditional trim detail, restrained carving, and innovative finishes get us excited.

Leaves
This card table was built for one of the old ranch houses of Northern New Mexico. Folded in it sits four comfortably. Folded out it seats six. The mechanisms for supporting the table are all wood, either alder or cherry.
The Taos Chair
Our Taos chairs are elegant and extremely comfortable. Whether used in the dining room or office, you will be delighted with their look and feel.
