Murphy's Fine Woodworking Newsletters
Spring 2024
California West Greene & Greene Chair
This is a walk down memory lane. Four years ago, we were awarded "Woodworker Wednesday", by General Finishes, our country’s major supplier of finishing products. They recognized “Brian Murphy of Murphy's Fine Woodworking! He sells a bold Mission-style line of furniture featuring dressers, desks, bed frames, chairs and more!”
“Brian has been successfully designing and selling furniture since 1989 and has been recognized in numerous magazines for his unique line of furniture with its beautiful detailing and wonderful construction. The Bow Arm Morris Chair is one of his most popular items. It is known for its modern adaption of the work of the great furniture maker Gustav Stickley!”
We are very proud to have been Featured on the General Finishes program!!! It’s kind of nice to be recognized for the Art/Work that we do. We currently have a California West Greene & Greene Chair in process without a home. Call me if you are interested on a great Chair at a great price!
In the Winter Edition of this New Letter, we featured a selection of Mission Side Boards that we had made over the years. Many times, we have customers ask us on how we build our pieces, and I would like to share a few pictures on how a Mission Sideboard is really made!

This case was just delivered last week, and I thought that you might be interested in seeing how it went together also.. It was made of quarter-sawn white oak and stained with a light Bombay Mahogany. The lighting system is controlled with a remote switch that can come on automatically or controlled with four different lighting stages,
As a small independent furniture maker, we can offer a degree of flexibility and attention to detail not commonly found in larger shops. “I thoroughly enjoy and take great pride in my work. Using attention to detail and proven construction.”
I like to think that we build Extraordinary Hand-built Furniture for your Extraordinary Home. Give us a call to chat about your dreams …
