Reflecting back to 16 years ago when I threw all caution to the wind and started my own custom furniture business. I rented a building attached to a machine shop in my old neighborhood in East Boston and got up and running. This is where it all began. . . . . . #thisiswhereitbegan #herestothefuture #lokifurniture #lokicustomfurniture #northshoremafurniture #customfurniture #furnituremaker #customfurnituredesign #furnituredesign #handmade #madeinmassachusetts #northshoremassachusetts #newenglandmade #newenglandcustomfurniture #essexcountyma https://www.instagram.com/p/B97U2w8HBMG/?igshid=jkf6x50jdic3

Ran out of dominoes so I decided to go old school on all of the joinery for the base. Couple pics of mortise and tenon joints, detail shot of the stainless cap mockup, base together and I like to use my Bridgeport for cutting mortises! #lokicustomfurniture #lokifurniture #slabtop #walnutslab #walnutslabs #bookmatchedtop #walnut #joinery #mortiseandtenon https://www.instagram.com/p/B78QqpvnMwb/?igshid=10ypx0s6ojkj4
