Built in solid, quartersawn sycamore, this is a beautiful end table or nightstand. Through, exposed, hand cut dovetail carcass construction and piston fit wood on wood running drawers ensure it will outlive the grandkids' grandkids. The ogee bracket feet lift it to stand proudly and the moldings are icing on the cake. Classic style.
Designed and built by Matt Branyan from a locally fallen sycamore tree. $5800.00
Solid walnut drafting or architect's desk. The joinery for this one was most satisfying as it was hand cut sans wattage. Exposed drawer runners and kickers hold the graduating panels, forming the also graduating drawer boxes, drawers, and drawer knobs. These panels exist on all three sides of the drawer case so as to look presentable from every angle. The tilting top is of solid walnut and flanked in breadboards for everlasting integrity. Drawers are piston fit and dovetailed front and rear using quartered walnut and quartered sycamore for ultimate stability and even the bottoms are solid sycamore. The walnut foot rest is relief cut for stool leg access and protected with a brass scuff plate which has been shaped to follow the curvature of the foot rest and slightly distressed. Even the racheting mechanism for the tilt top is solid walnut utilizing exposed mortise and tenons in the rail joinery.
This desk is customed to an ergonomic height fit for standing or sitting so as to allow for those long work sessions. Six extra long drawers provide luxurious storage.

Built of a wormy white oak log well over 100 years old using proven, traditional construction and finishing methods. Wedged through tenons, near 250 hand cut dovetails, and a design conscious of seasonal wood movement will allow this sideboard to outlive the generations to come with little care. Finished in oil, shellac, and wax after a traditional ammonia fuming to enhance the white oak's color. Hardwares are solid brass.

Made to hang on the wall and hold my molding planes, this is a striking display cabinet. It could be constructed in any species and finished in a variety of ways. I chose to build this one from a locally fallen white pine tree which came down in a windstorm and landed in our friends' bedroom. Lucky for us, no one was hurt and the tree had grown large and as straight as a gun barrel.
The proud standing joinery, all hand cut and integral, combined with the beaded front really lends itself to the distressed, milk paint finish. The beaded, tongue and grooved back contrasts nicely and sheds a little light on the displayed items. A personal favorite. 30" x 30" x 11" deep.
