ABOUT SDH Woodworking

SDH is a group of artisans and artists living and working in and around McKinney, Texas.

The kernel of the group consists of Steve, who has most of his experience in the commercial field, designing and making display cases and the like for businesses. Henry is primarily a furniture designer and builder, and Donna’s area of greatest expertise is in finishing, including faux finishes for architectural applications.

In addition to these three, several other artisans who pursue other disciplines and use other media form temporary ad hoc groups to complete a specific job. Who joins in any particular job is wholly dependent on what skills are needed.

If wrought iron is part of the design, we have a blacksmith who specializes in ornamental design and hand forging.

One of the foremost area turners ( lathe masters -- he makes round things) is called in for the part that requires his specialized knowledge and tools.

In short, we have a large pool of talent available, and are able to meet virtually any need for anything made of wood, glass, or mirror, as well as other materials, whether it be fine art or utilitarian furniture.

We begin the design phase when we have talked with our customer to decide what is required by the customer. When the customer has approved our proposed design, then and only then do we begin work. This ensures that the customer gets exactly what is needed, at a price which is convenient to the customer, that it will fit in the space available, and will match the customer’s existing furniture, paint scheme, or whatever other criteria need to be met.
