Furniture Maker
James Redway Furniture Makers, located in Woodbury, Connecticut, has been in the business of building high quality, 18th Century style and 19th Century Shaker furniture since 1986. He builds a variety of tables, small chests, footstools, step stools and quilt racks. He is well known for and specializes in the construction of small side tables. His Christmas Table is a Connecticut classic. All furniture is made with solid cherry wood using traditional joinery techniques. Tables are made with pinned mortise and tenon construction. Small chests, drawers and steps are made with hand-dovetails. He offers three hand-rubbed tung oil finishes; Natural, Medium Brown, and Dark Cherry. All furniture is finished with five coats of tung oil for a silky, satin shine. Each piece is signed, numbered, dated and branded with his hallmark. James and his wife Liza operate the Silver Cherry at 87 Main Street in Woodbury, CT. You can see many examples of James' furniture there. They also have many wood kitchen and home accessories available such as mirrors, cutting boards and the Redway Blade. This is a handmade solid cherry kitchen cooking tool. It is "better than a wooden spoon or plastic spatula.." Its also "made from solid cherry, is finely polished and feels silky smooth in your hand. Finished with extra virgin olive oil. Two edges of the tool are beveled to allow you to chop vegetables right in the pan." You can tell that the Redways enjoy cooking. In addition to their furniture and home accessories they also publish a "Silver Cherry Cookbook." The 2009 edition is available through their website, www.redway.com. The Silver Cherry is open Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm or by appointment. You can download a catalog in pdf format at www.redway.com. James can be reached at 1-800-326-5977. |
