Joe Morgan, owner of Northwood Gallery, is a woodworker in Essex, Vermont.

"I focus creating functional, pieces that will stand the test of time. I enjoy knowing that the products I create have a functional place in the every day lives of my customers, and the potential to be heirlooms in their own time. The things I make are meant to be used, loved, beaten up. I use natural and accessible finishes and avoid using stains, so every piece can be repaired or refinished with as much ease as possible. I also strongly embrace traditional practices and use hand tools and hand rubbed finish wherever possible.

Custom orders welcome!"
