Handmade hardwood furniture made in Ohio with honesty and restraint.
Cabin Frank is a small furniture studio based in Athens County, Ohio. The work is made by hand, in solid hardwood, with an emphasis on proportion, durability, and everyday use.I’m drawn to simple forms and honest materials—objects that feel quiet, useful, and considered. Much of the work takes cues from vernacular furniture and Scandinavian restraint, where construction and material are allowed to speak for themselves.Each piece is built one at a time, using traditional joinery and finishes chosen for longevity rather than novelty.
