Jesse Vaughn

Artist & Craftsman

Jesse Vaughn, owner and operator of Classic Architectural Woodworking, has over 30 years experience as a wood craftsman.  Each project is designed and built by Jesse and selected assistants who adhere to his quality standards.  He is meticulous in the details of the construction and installation of each project.  His aim has always been, and continues to be, to create the highest quality, individually built project to suit specific needs.  When Jesse is contracted to do a job, you get over 3 decades of experience, technical precision, and expert craftsmanship.  You will get woodwork to enjoy for life, built by someone who understands, and loves, wood.

"My work is more than just a business. It's very personal. I enjoy and take great pride in what I do.  I love working with wood---taking pieces of rough lumber and cutting, shaping, planing, sanding, smoothing, and finishing until the wood is transformed into a beautiful and useful piece.  I believe that my personal investment in each piece guarantees the finished product is of the highest standards.  I'm uncompromising in the details, and that sets my work apart.  At the end of a project, I want the satisfaction of knowing I created something of enduring quality, function, and beauty.

Mass production shops deal with the average needs of average customers.  My clients are more discerning.  I appreciate the opportunity to fulfill their aesthetic desires and functional needs.  And I am grateful that I'm able to do something I truly love for my life's work, and that it fills a need in other's lives."
