Dan Alleger Custom Woodworking : New Orleans, LA : Custom Furniture : Refinishing and Restoration




	So much of the furniture you see these days looks like it rolled right off the assembly line. The time honored tradition of hand crafted furniture is becoming more and more rare. By investing in a solid wood custom designed piece, you are insuring that this valuable tradition can continue. Each piece is carefully constructed to last for years with minimal care required. Traditional jointery is observed, from mortise and tenon to dovetailing. A variety of woods and finishes are available depending on how the piece will be utilized and the look you have in mind.

	What about the hardware?

	The character and appearance of your piece can be greatly influenced and accentuated by the type of hardware used Hardware can be crafted out of wood or metal depending on the function it will serve. Different periods brought about the appearance of many different kinds of hardware, from those used in 19th century to the distinctive Arts & Crafts hardware used in the early 20th century (as pictured above). You, of course, can choose whichever hardware you wish so that the product will match your vision.
