Conscious Carpentry
There are few pleasures as good as the feel of a sharpened plane that can glide over even the most difficult of woods.
Carpentry
When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for the present alone. Let it be such work that our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that time has come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men (and women) will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our father (and mother) did for us."-John Ruskin,
Carpenter and Builder Guide 1942
Peoples Natural Construction considers all carpentry projects as an opportunity to reveal how beautiful woodworking can be. We understand how enjoyment of a piece of work can be so satisfying in the present moment. But inherent in the creation is the satisfaction of timelessness. If the project calls for elaborate cabinetry or a simple and practical railing, we approach the work knowing that this piece will be here for years and years, and can be enjoyed by so many, so we pay special attention to the products we use and the techniques we employ.
Cabinetry, tables, furniture, wood interiors, windows, doors, exterior arbors and exterior wood elements are a short list of what we are capable of. We enjoy working closely with our clients to create beautiful and unique projects.
