Introduction and Background


My name is John Anthony, owner and craftsman of AZA Woodworking Plus. I make furniture and cabinetry incorporating classical methods employed by old world cabinetmakers and modern methods and machines to produce results of high quality, durability and beauty.

I have been a woodworker since 1985 and have made many pieces of furniture both stand-alone and built-in over the years. Some of my formal experience includes Windsor chair making under Michael Dunbar at the Windsor Institute in New Hampshire and, as a result, I learned many techniques that are useful not only in furniture making but also in general cabinetmaking and carpentry. I have attended several clinics including a seminar on seating furniture in Williamsburg, Virginia.

This enterprise is a culmination of my desire to use my skills and experience to create the results of fine craftsmanship in every project undertaken no matter whether it is building a piece of stand alone furniture, a wall of bookcases, an entertainment center, completing a kitchen or bath remodel, or other restoration or remodeling project in residential or commercial settings.

I invite you to view the samples of my work in the gallery pages and offer feedback with questions and comments.
