Spring 2021 Newsletter

Well, it is Springtime, and the orange trees are in bloom. They smell so great! Covid-19 may be on the way out if we stay diligent, wear a mask, and get your shots. This month I would like to introduce you to a beautiful piece that I did for a young couple here in Escondido. This unit is 16” deep and 72” long. The case is in three sections with a wine rack in the middle. The two side doors have raised radius inset panels. The wine rack is canted. All of the drawers have hand cut dovetails and are lined with red felt. There are inlaid cherry butterfly keys in the top. The glass is 3/8” tempered glass to protect the top from hot plates.

I like to think that we build Extraordinary Hand-built Furniture for your Extraordinary Home.  Give us a call to chat about your dreams …

Hand cut dovetails & the drawers are lined with red felt

You are a true artist and we absolutely love sharing our family moments in front of your spectacular craftsmanship. When we dreamed up a custom wine rack buffet with impossible dimensions and space constraints, you came through and nailed it! When we had an outdated empty media niche and a fireplace project where we needed a custom mantle…again you were there! Spectacular finished products all 3 and we couldn’t be happier with the experience in working with you from sketches on paper to fully realized showroom quality finished pieces. It is always our pleasure getting to tell friends and family who admire them about Murphy’s Fine Woodworking. As long as you are still designing and building custom furniture, Curtis and I will have fun thinking about what our next furniture adventure with Brian Murphy will be! With our highest regard and most complete satisfaction, Thank you.

This was the largest project that we have done. 24 pieces for a great Valley Center home!!

In Brian Murphy, of Murphy’s Fine Woodworking, we found everything we were looking for, and more. Brian is more than a woodworker who makes furniture; he is an artist with a refined eye for detail. Each piece was hand-crafted of superior quality and exquisite detail. For our project, he used quarter-sawn oak to give a spectacular grain pattern then handpicked the pieces with the most distinctive grain to use in the most visible areas of each piece. The drawers of our bedroom dresser were made from the same piece of oak and the grain pattern flows continuously across the dresser. We were so impressed with the Mission style living room and dining room furniture Brian made for us, that we commissioned him to make a bedroom set, as well. We now have 24 family heirlooms and beautiful pieces of “art” throughout our home. We love the furniture and we loved working with Brian.

Very Best,
