Don Howell Joinery

A furniture maker in the Lower East Side, Don Howell Joinery turns raw wood into built-to-last pieces. Clients bring sketches or descriptions, and they walk out with solid oak tables, walnut bookshelves, and custom cabinetry sized for modern kitchens. Once the design is set, they handle everything from dovetail joints to water-based finishes. The shop focuses on function first, letting each join stay visible rather than hiding it behind veneer.
