M. Jury Woodworks

About The Artist
Michael Jury • Springfield, VA
Furniture • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
I design and build hardwood furniture and decorative woodwork inspired by Shaker, Japanese and Danish design. My work is elegant in its graceful proportions, heirloom construction and subtle ornamentation. I use only solid domestic lumber in my pieces and highlight the natural colors of the wood in my finishes. All joinery is fit by hand as are the countless individual pieces which create the traditional Japanese kumiko patterns I employ in furniture and lighting.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.Each piece is built one at a time and starts with carefully hand-selecting the finest domestic hardwood lumber for the most beautiful color and matching grain. Mortise and tenon joints and dovetails are the structural elements that hold it all together. The joints are fit by hand for the utmost precision and beauty. When appropriate, the joinery is left exposed as a subtle ornamentation and evidence of honest construction. |
