A craftsman, Hobbs strives to create enjoyably functional furniture that enhances its surroundings through artful design and expert craftsmanship. At Stanton Hill Studios, all furniture is handcrafted and originally designed using traditional construction techniques and quality native hardwoods. Each piece of furniture is hand crafted by Benjamin Hobbs from his own designs.
For the tour, guests will see the process from log to furniture by touring the sawmill, drying shed, and studio. Hobbs will have a number of completed works on display and will also demonstrate how to lay out and cut large mortise and tenon joints applicable to furniture and timber frame construction.
