All work is expertly hand-crafted from the finest woods.
Welcome
Dianne and Gary North are both Registered Nurses by profession, grew up and lived in Maine, moved away and returned to settle in the lovely country side of Durham, Maine.
Gary has been involved in woodworking for more than 30 years, making his first piece of furniture (a book case) while a member of 4H at the age of twelve. He has done many building projects and made numerous pieces for friends and family and his two grandchildren Zak and Kira.
Dianne developed an interest in woodworking a number of years ago, but finally focused on her own passion of intarsia and jewelry boxes. She uses all natural woods to produce her variety of pieces. The different shades and types of wood produce the visual effect which makes them so special. She has done a number of special projects and has been commissioned by area businesses to produce unique pieces.
Both Gary and Dianne are committed to providing high quality products that reflect the natural beauty only wood can achieve. Each piece is built individually according to the customer’s specifications.
Please contact us regarding any questions or to place an order.
Thank you for visiting,
Gary and Dianne North, Proprietors.
