Greg Brown — Cabinetmaker and Carver

Greg Brown

Cabinetmaker & Carver

I am a specialty wood-worker and sculptor based in New Hampshire. My shop showcases a full working environment where I create a broad range of custom woodwork to fit the needs of individuals, designers, and contractors. I design in a variety of styles to fit the client’s aesthetic vision and the architectural surroundings. I also specialize in my own signature style that embodies my love of flowing water and vegetation in nature. Some of my work implies a strong sense of motion.

I am a juried member of the NH Furniture Masters Association and the League of NH Craftsmen as well as a contributing editor to the Guild of NH Woodworker’s Journal.
