David Knipfer

I am the old-style craftsman that many think no longer exist. Each item is given the greatest care in design  patiently hand built and finished with natural oils. My artistic goal is to build heirloom quality wood objects that are functional for daily use and showcase the wood’s natural figure, color, and textures. I am fascinated by the technical challenges of building functional wood art with expressive design elements. I execute my wood art pieces with the intention that the object passes through generations. My wood designs harmoniously blend form and proportion while incorporating flowing curves and spectacular figured hardwoods. My craftsmanship and patience to get the details right results in technically flawless pieces that transcend convention. Everything I make is finished with hand rubbed natural oils which allows you to feel and see the natural texture and colors of the wood.
