Earl Nesbitt Fine Furniture

Earl is an amazing artisan and a perfectionist that takes pride in all of his work and produces amazing furniture. He made us a custom dining table and sideboard and the work is stunning. These pieces are really the centerpieces of our home and we are enjoying them every day. I had very high expectations yet he exceeded them. The craftsmanship is really something to behold. Earl is easy to work with, honest, and dedicated to the project at hand. I recommend him with enthusiasm.

I was very fortunate to have Earl design and build my dream recliner! This piece is not only a work of art but it is also an engineering masterpiece. The craftsmanship is superior and working with Earl Nesbitt has been an absolute pleasure. Earl emailed me photo's throughout the entire process and we collaborated on every detail of the project. The final result exceeded my every expectation. I highly recommend Earl for all custom built fine furniture projects.

Earl's work is truly unique. He is able to create highly structured, meticulously crafted furniture. His style and capabilities are in evidence on his website. It is clear he can create both small and large scale pieces of functional art. His eye for select woods to integrate into his pieces is notable. I was first drawn to a cherry dining/conference table (seating eight) at a show two years ago. It is designed in such a way as to allow leg room for each member of my very tall family and yet it does not appear clunky or heavy. This is remarkable for a table of this size. The lines are very clean and they elegantly show off the beautiful table top constructed of several highly figured cherry boards. The dynamic quality of this figuring simply ripples across the table, providing a wonderful energy to this seemingly simple design. Earl and his wife Laura couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant as I contemplated this purchase. They worked with me closely on the delivery details and came back later to complete the finishing. All in all, this is superb work and Earl and Laura are highly committed, expert, and stand behind what they sell.

We bought a table from Earl. Or at least that's what we thought we were doing. What we actually ended up purchasing was a piece of art. And the art was created in a collaborative effort with Earl, Laura, my husband and I. It is beautiful to behold. It is so incredible that I'm a little in awe of it and afraid to eat on it. But it will grow on us, and we will love it more and more like aged wood. If you are fortunate enough to become customers of Earl and Laura's, they will work together with you to create a custom piece to meet your needs and beyond your wildest imagination.

All of Earl Nesbitt's work is amazingly well crafted. My house will not be complete until I have one of his pieces. Earl has been very helpful during the planning phase, and I will be commissioning something wonderful once I decide exactly what I want.

The end product was/is fantastic: a completely custom table matching the original vision in our heads. Most builders can repeat what they've done to great effect. However, a custom bespoke design can be unnerving for all involved. We initally provided Earl with fairly detailed sketches. However, we had many design discussions where he would bring his past experiences to address working through unanticipated issues. From sending us mutliple wood samples, stain variation, metal and finish examples to helping focus on decision making, Earl provided both the artistic touch needed for a custom design as well as the focus to bring it to fruition. Expect a custom job to take longer than a standard piece but you will be impressed with the result. We could not be happier.

Earl Nesbitt designs and builds contemporary furniture in interesting woods. At the American Craft Council show in Baltimore, I purchased a stool built with mortise and tenon joinery in mesquite wood. The scars in the wood, the finish and the thoughtful design make it a very beautiful piece. I couldn't resist -- went back and added a mirror, framed in the same wood. We continue to enjoy both pieces.

Earl Nesbitt Fine Furniture delivers the highest quality of craftmanship on original designs, is conscientious about providing the greatest product value to their clients with sincere professionalism - Thanks Earl!

Our son has been a friend of Earl's for many years. When our son announced his engagement, we asked him and his fiancee to pick a piece of furniture they would like Earl to build for their future home together. They worked with Earl to design a bed (featured in one of Earl's brochures) made of several types of wood. It has a headboard which serves as a coutoured back rest, excellent for reading in bed. Earl's sense of design, his creativity and perfectionism when working with wood, and his ability to craft in that medium what the customer is dreaming of in his head all recommend him as a top choice for those wanting a beautiful piece of hand-crafted furniture. Working with Earl and his wife Laura was indeed a pleasure, and we have enjoyed their friendship.

I have purchased two pieces from Earl and they are awesome. The first piece is a desk which is a showpiece but also functional and I use it every day. because I love the desk so much, I asked Earl to build a matching cabinet which came out even more amazing than I had expected. It is quality work all the way.

Earl Nesbitt's work is FANTASTIC! My wife and I commissioned a full dining room set (Round Table for ten, China Cabinet and two Side Boards) as well as an art deco entertainment center. We were thrilled with the whole process. Based on our comments and a visit to our home, Earl created a wonderful design for each piece. His selection of woods was perfect and the final products were outstanding. His attention to detail, his craftsmanship and his design skills are second to none. I would recommend him to anyone. His pieces are truly functional art and a joy to behold! Gregg & Meg Lehman

The bed we bought from Earl is by far the most beautiful piece of furniture in our house. He worked with us to incorporate our design ideas, like a curved headboard/ backrest for my wife who likes to read in bed. The result is a piece of art that showcases the color and grain of the different woods (I particularly like the mesquite) while also being comfortable and functional. I almost wish we could keep it in the living room to show it off!
