About Me
With over three decades of experience in fine woodworking, I have built JKB Design on a foundation of craftsmanship, integrity, and dedication to excellence.
Every project is approached with the same commitment to quality—whether it's a bespoke furniture piece, a custom cabinet, or an intricate piece of architectural millwork.
Working from my Montchanin workshop, I combine traditional joinery techniques with modern precision to create work that stands the test of time.
I believe that exceptional woodwork tells a story. Each grain, joint, and finish is carefully considered to bring your vision to life with authenticity and lasting beauty.
