THE MAKING OF A CRAFTSMAN | The Norwegian name Birkeness originates from the words, "Birke" and "ness" – translation: Birch Point. So perhaps it was destiny that Thomas J. Birkeness would become a Master Craftsman in Woodworking.
Tom drew his inspiration at a young age from the family's frequent trips to the furniture galleries of Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. And from his father, Thomas L. Birkeness (September 24, 1934 – December 27, 1997), who preceded him as a fine woodworker. Over the years Tom's passion for woodworking, commitment to quality, and respect for time honored traditions have enabled him to become an expert in this centuries-old craft.
Tom founded Birkeness Fine Woodworking in 2003, after ten years of experience as an enthusiast. Since that time Birkeness has partnered with clients on a wide variety of commissioned works including custom furniture, kitchens cabinets, bathroom vanities, and built-ins. Every project is a one-of-a-kind statement and a beautiful addition to each client's home.

Monica P. | When we were building our house and Tom added his proposal to the mix, we were just blown away by the strength of his design, and how well he incorporated our taste (Craftsman, Bungalow Style) into this decidedly mountain-style home. The wood chosen, the quality craftsmanship, the amazing details--all combined to give us a showplace kitchen which everyone comments on favorably when entering our home. I highly recommend Tom to anyone thinking about new cabinets for both kitchen and bath.
