About Darrell
The Media
on Darrell
Darrell has been woodworking since 1970. Over the years he became known for his Greene and Greene inspired furniture designs. He has written three books, many magazine articles, made numerous videos, taught and lectured throughout the US. In that time he has also built a lot of furniture!
At well past retirement, Darrell is just as excited about design and furniture making as he was in his twenty’s. It’s now time for a change of direction and to slow down a bit though. He will continue to work in the shop everyday and will still teach at some of his favorite woodworking schools. He will continue to design and make furniture – but at a slower pace and without schedules and a backlog of work.
The influence of Charles and Henry Greene will likely continue in one way or another. As he explores new design ideas the “look” will evolve. Some of his newer designs point the way.
Please visit the Furniture Ready to Ship page on this website to see what pieces have been built and are available for immediate purchase.
From time to time Darrell will occasionally accept a new commission. He is longer be backing orders up though. If you are interested in having him make something – please contact Darrell. Be aware though, his primary objective these days is to enjoy his time in the shop. With that in mind, he turns down most of the work coming his way. But who knows, he may be in the mood today to accept your commission!
Please check the Furniture Ready To Ship page on this website for recent pieces Darrell has made for sale.
Over the years Darrell has had various people working for him in the shop. Two of them are now independent and sometimes accept commissions of Darrell’s portfolio pieces
They are well versed in the language and details of the Greene & Greene Style.
Nathan (Stix) Jenkins now lives near Vancouver, WA. He worked for Darrell off and on for several years. Stix is a full time furniture and cabinet maker. He is available for large projects.
George Knutson worked for Darrell for many years and assisted him in woodworking classes. He now lives near Bellingham, WA. George is Darrell’s age though and limits his incoming work.
Please contact Darrell for a referral to either George or Stix.

The Artisan Furnituremaker – Darrell’s new book here!
This third book by Darrell deals with furniture design. It has been a labor of love and a long time in the making.
Coming from his unique perspective it is less about ratios (although some are discussed) and more about inspiration and intuition.
