Design, production, and finishing are all done at the Cricket Forge facility in Durham, North Carolina. They have complete hands-on control of quality in every respect. All benches are hand-crafted of 1/4" steel. The benches are fabricated, shot blasted, flame sprayed with zinc, and painted with a high quality two part epoxy base paint. This weather proof finishing technique results in a highly resistant coating that prevents oxidation. Benches are individually hand painted using a dry brush technique or air brushed. Benches are palletized and shipped via common carrier.

These pieces of artwork last 50-75 years without rusting. Many are sold to ocean-front homes and the salt spray does not affect the finish.

His design philosophy is substance over style. He does not believe in fashion and temporary marketing measures, but believes in timelessness. His ever popular "September Tree" has sold thousands since the seventy's. He has great respect for classical architecture and products, but does not believe in imitating the past. The past is for lessons to be learned. Nature is beautiful and has plenty to offer for inspiration. He thinks the solution is not within different directions but, concentrating on quality, starting, with the quality of life.
