HANDCRAFTED FURNITURE

My name is Josh Robinson and I am a professional woodworker. I was born in Gloucester, MA where I was taught from an early age to swing a hammer by my father and grandfather who were both multi-skilled tradesman. I began working in the building trades at 13 years old, where I was taught to do things the right way and not the easy way. I feel that true craftsmanship has become an undervalued aspect of today's world. It is difficult to watch the wasteful, fast-paced world of manufactured disposable goods increasingly dominate people's lives. So it is my ongoing mission to share my work with people in an effort to help them slow down, take a moment to once again see, feel and appreciate the connection that exists between wood, as an element of the earth, and each person, as my furniture becomes an enduring and lasting part of their life.

My business, Annisquam Woodcraft, began after constructing a dining table for a close friend, turning what was a part time hobby into a full time business. My business mission is simple, to provide people with handcrafted heirloom quality furniture at an affordable price.
