Four Generations of Craft. One Shared Love for the Work.
Meet the Makers
Dovetails & Stitches is shaped by two makers with different backgrounds, shared values, and a deep respect for craft. Together, their perspectives guide every decision from design to finish.
Richard
- A lifelong woodworker whose approach was shaped by learning the craft from his father and grandfather
- Brings decades of hands-on experience in traditional joinery, materials, and problem-solving
- Focuses on structure, proportion, and how a piece will perform over time
Asha
- A minimalist designer with a sharp eye for balance, restraint, and detail
- Launched her accessories line using offcuts from the furniture studio, reducing waste and giving materials a second life
- Brings a modern sensibility that keeps each piece clean, functional, and approachable
Together, they build pieces that balance tradition and modern living. Work that feels grounded, intentional, and meant to be used.
Every piece that leaves the studio has passed through both sets of hands.
What We Build (and Why It Matters)
- Custom furniture and handmade home goods designed around how you live, not how a piece photographs.
- Built-to-last construction, using solid hardwoods and proven joinery chosen for strength, stability, and longevity.
- Thoughtful design decisions shaped by listening first, proportions, materials, and finishes selected to fit your space and routines.
- Pieces meant to age well, wearing in over time and remaining useful long after trends change.
- Work made in small batches, allowing us to focus on quality, not volume.
We don’t build for showrooms. We build for real homes. The kind where meals are shared, moments unfold, and memories live for decades.
“All of the back & forth questions never went to waste. ‘How Sweet It Is’ has now settled into her new cozy space! It’s amazingly perfect in how it matches the bench seating. The delivery guys were great, and they loved the crate. I can’t wait for Bob to get home today to share this special day with me. Thank you again… a million times.”
