How It All Began
Since 1980, Paul Dumond, has been dreaming and scheming new and different pieces of custom furniture that he would build on his free weekends while working a full-time job as an accountant. In 1991, after much learning and trial and error, he became a full-time “professional” woodworker. Paul began to do shows and accept commissions for custom pieces of furniture for clients across the country. In such far away places as St. Louis, Sun Valley, Coral Gables and New York City to mention a few.
His current work features unique woods and designs along with more traditional styles such as shaker and Stickley. A piece he’s currently working on features a 2′ by 6′ cherry slab hand selected at a mill in Pennsylvania. It forms the center piece of an executive rustic desk. Its edges are “live” which means they are not straight but are the actual outside edges of the tree with nothing removed. A crack in one end has butterflies which stabilize it but still show off its unique beauty. Paul’s goal is to build pieces of “art” yet still produce more traditional and affordable pieces that can find they’re way into people’s homes from coast to coast.
