Thank you for visiting Hean Cabinetry. Whether you are a homeowner, a design professional, or simply a lover of fine woodworking, I invite you to browse my online portfolio. In it you will find examples of the variety of work, and the quality of the craftsmanship, that I have been practicing for nearly 40 years. Perhaps you are looking for a maker to build some ideas of your own. I will be delighted to have that conversation with you. To initiate it, please go to my contact page and leave a message there, or just call me directly.

In this gallery are many pieces of my own design, some specific customer requests, and some by architects. All free-standing furniture I make from primarily or entirely solid wood, depending on the design, size, and budget. Styling is largely contemporary, and I relish the opportunity to utilize gorgeous live-edge slabs of local wood. Most joinery is traditional in origin because it has stood the test of time in this material which is older than humanity. Where solid woods of substantial width are used, maintaining structural integrity requires that attention is given, in both design and construction, to ensure the necessary freedom of movement in response to season humidity changes.

I have had the great opportunity and pleasure to practice my craft through a diverse array of projects. This category displays that variety vividly, ranging from formal entry doors and traditional wainscoting to live edge countertops and stairs. In every case you will find it to be an example of fine craftsmanship used in the service of creating beauty, utility, and value in your home and thus in your life.
