Design Criteria
Guy ClarkStuff that works. Stuff that holds up.

for Comfort and Utility
- Dining chairs in which anyone can sit for hours without feeling an edge, a flat, or an odd angle.
- Rocking chairs in which a parent can rock for hours in the middle of the night and feel as softly enfolded as the infant in arms.
- Dining tables and desks with room for legs, knees, and toes.
- Cabinets, dining tables, and desks sized for their space and configured for their use.
- The surface and edges of every piece of furniture provide a sensuous touch to all hands.
for Longevity
- Joints appropriate to the load.
- Respect for the technical specifications of the material.
- Craftsmanship of the highest order.
for Beauty
- Lines, curves, contours, and surface quality secure each piece as a work of art.
- Figure, color, and character of the wood carefully composed and revealed within the form.
for Efficiency and Safety
- How can the parts be developed from available lumber?
- Can we build a tool, jig, fixture, or machine to perform this task safer and with more precision?
- Where can we apply our handwork to the most benefit of our patrons?
for Service
- Build to the highest standards of beauty, construction, fit, and finish.
- Communicate with respect and comprehension.
- Sell for less than such artistry would suggest.
- Deliver on time.
