Graham Coulson Furniture

Visual Art – Madison

I am an English immigrant and resident of Wausau, Wisconsin I have an engineering and furniture design background as well as having run my own landscaping business in both London and Wausau. My current aim is to create modern handmade furniture that utilises the natural qualities of wood to create items of function and beauty. Currently my favored materials are cherry and walnut but I will add materials to my stock as new designs are developed. My design style is to use clean lines and shapes together with attention to proportion. My preferred finish is Danish oil with beeswax top coat. These finishes are traditional woodworking finishes and bring out the beauty of wood to its fullest potential. I currently divide my time between designing and making furniture and renovating an old schoolhouse that I also use as my workshop.
