Not Your Daddy's Cubicle

Our client wanted us to incorporate their company logo into the design of their work stations. They also wanted the logo to be three dimensional. We up fitted eight existing work tables into two sets of four work stations. The upper band detail features the company logo and is made of mahogany, ash and scored alder and is capped with aluminum. Below each work station is a cabinet that Woodleaf also built.

By examining the detail photos one can see that this was a labor intensive and tedious project but the results reveal wonderful whimsy and detail.

The Making of a Dream Humidor

Last year Matthew had the opportunity, for the first time, to design and fabricate a large built-in humidor for a client. Below are some detail shots of the project. Take notice of the rubber gasket used to properly seal the cabinet. The humidifying equipment sits within a stainless steel overflow tray/tub to capture any short term leak or accidental spill when adding water, etc. See the "The Wine and Cigar Aficionado Office" in exhibit grade built-ins for the finished photo.

History of Woodleaf - A Glimpse

In 1987 we started up The Woodleaf Co., now known as Woodleaf Studios in Raleigh, North Carolina. That happens to be the same year our first child was born so it is easy to keep the dates straight. We have been in business for 21 years! Matthew meets with the clients and creates the designs. I handle the administrative and bookkeeping duties and manage our new web site. We have two skilled craftsman, Randy and Robbie, that build the furniture and cabinetry. See a few snapshots below. Thanks for visiting.

Welcome!

Welcome to Woodleaf' Studio's blog. This is where  you can see what exciting new projects Woodleaf Studios is working on and learn a little about us and our history. Matthew is in the design phase of several pieces of exhibit grade furniture and built ins. One of his current clients has asked him to design a breakfast table and a kitchen island in the Biedermeier style. Biedermeier is characterized by clean and simple lines. It is both beautiful and functional. Often geometric shapes are incorporated in the design. Below is a Bieidermeier piece made by Woodleaf  Studios on display at a trade show.
