Custom Cabinetry & Fine Furniture Crafted with Precision
John Landis Cabinetworks was founded in 2010 by John Landis, a University of Virginia-trained architect who transitioned to hands-on furniture craftsmanship after professional dissatisfaction. With over 15 years of experience, the company has grown to include skilled craftsmen while maintaining John's direct involvement in every piece. Specializing in custom cabinetry and fine furniture, we use ethically-sourced hardwoods and solid-wood joinery to create lifetime-quality pieces tailored to client specifications. Our process emphasizes individual attention, from lumber selection to hand-applied finishes, ensuring continuity in wood tone and characteristics.Unlike mass producers, we maintain no inventory, building exclusively to order while offering design inspiration from established collections. Our commitment to transparency keeps clients informed throughout decision-making about materials, dimensions, and finishes. Recognized at major craft events like the American Craft Council Show, we serve clients seeking heirloom-quality furniture through studio consultations, craft fairs, and personalized correspondence via phone or email.
