Tom Dumke
Tom Dumke is a self-taught woodworker with a deep respect for the furniture craftsmen of the 17th and 18th centuries. Their knowledge of form, balance, joinery, and wood movement is evident in the pieces of fine furniture that still exist today. Dumke relies on the shared expertise of those craftsmen from long ago and those of today.
The Shakers have had a profound influence on Dumke's work with their clean, unadorned simplicity, and the functionality and craftsmanship of their furniture. Whether building an exact reproduction or drawing inspiration for his own designs, Dumke keeps the basic Shaker tenets in mind. His pieces are intended to harmonize with the environment, and he uses native, sustainably harvested solid wood species in his work.
Tom Dumke grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and learned a solid work ethic from his father, a controller for Delco Electronics. From Dumke's earliest years, he was always curious about how things worked and how things were constructed. By examining how things were made, Dumke developed an appreciation for the careful and precise use of tools. He is a self-taught furniture maker.
Customer Reviews
This table, made of walnut and wenge wood, is sleek and sturdy. It is finished to perfection and beautiful to look at. I am beyond delighted with this perfect piece of artistic and functional furniture. Kudos to the artist.
This console table exceeded my expectations. It is a work of art.
I ordered this console table on December 1, 2022, and the first one that arrived had a couple of scratches on the shelf and a visible saw mark on the top of the table. The table was well packaged, so the defects were obviously present when the table left the workshop. I contacted Artful Home, and the rep contacted the artist who agreed to make a second table and ship it to me before Christmas. The artist was true to his word, and the second table arrived on time and in great condition. I am well pleased with this gift for my husband.
I would have given this product five stars if the first table had been correct.
