Funk Brothers Furniture is a full spectrum wood shop located in Charlottesville, Virginia, specializing in high quality goods and services for patrons near and far. Since 2008, we have maintained a successful enterprise in providing our clientele with meticulous attention to detail in antique restoration and refinishing, fine furniture making, and manufacture of wood products. We have interacted with the physical nature of our surroundings for most of our lives, both separately and in collaboration, and this process developed our awareness of the tension between form, function, and surface.
I moved to the Charlottesville area in January 1995 and sought a position in a woodshop. One shop offered an immediate entry level position in the manufacture of ornamental wooden cremation urns. Another shop allowed that I could possibly clean bathrooms, unload trucks and if anyone had time, I could watch and learn. I took the cremation urns. Not exactly a dashing entry into the world of fine woodworking, but we all have to start somewhere. As it turned out, it was a solid beginning to what I consider a continually ongoing education.
