Joe The Carver's Furniture Gallery
Joe was influenced at Fairmont State College by his advisory and mentor who was native of Sweden and a graduate of Stout Institute of Technology. "At this time in my life, I was strongly influenced by the Danish Modern Movement." All of Joe's created pieces of furniture were based on functionality and depicted clean lines. There was no fancy mill work or enhancements to the workmanship.

Simply stated, form follows function and the timeless beauty of their work comes from good design and the character of the woods they selected. His early work was finished with natural oils and hand to a fine finish. Joe's finishing techniques today reflect the craftsmanship of his mentor.
