Jones Furniture Designs

Jones Furniture Designs builds each of our outstanding pieces out of the finest hardwoods using the best of traditional joinery and modern finishes

We custom design or recreate legacy designs for stair balusters, porch posts, and other profile turnings. Each one is turned by eye, and we can match most any profile. Turning size is limited to three feet unless special arrangements are made in advance.

Company founder Garth Jones began his professional life with a PhD in Organic Chemistry followed by seven years in academic biomedical research. Along the way he honed his furniture designing and building skills in Reed Woodworks’ shop. Needing a change, he left the academic world and Jones Furniture Designs was born. A few years later he apprenticed for six months at LeFort Furniture Makers south of Boston and studied the design and construction of 18th century American furniture. Along with Don Reed, Jones is the owner of the Slaughterhouse Gallery & Studios. He is an active member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, and his work has been featured in several exhibitions. In 2011 he had a turned piece accepted into the prestigious ‘Art of the State’ show at the State Museum of Pennsylvania.
