Brian Richardson Cabinetmaker
Description
For those of you who don't know me that well or at all, I've been a general carpenter and cabinetmaker for 20 years. I've worked mainly for Dale Richardson (my father with 45 years experience) here in the St. Stephen, NB area. I've also worked for Classic Woodworking here in St. Stephen for about a year, a commercial millwork shop in Saint John for 2 years, and another shop outside of Sussex that makes barrel-style saunas and hot tubs with western red cedar. I've been back in the St. Stephen area for about 5 years now and despite this area being rather unstable, we have been quite busy thankfully.
My business is located just outside of St. Stephen. I want to cater mainly Charlotte County, the Saint John area, and the Fredericton area and focus specifically on custom cabinetry, furniture, and other custom finish work projects.
As you will see in my photo album, I can make a wide variety of projects and am not afraid to take on more challenging tasks that a lot of people can't or won't do. We have a shop with virtually every tool imaginable for doing pretty much anything and many tools can be adapted to do even more tasks. My favorite project so far has to be the floor medallions. I have had a ton of positive feedback on those and my clients love them.
When I have time, I will even make a few smaller items to sell and advertise them directly on this page. I also make it a stern policy to use very little particleboard in anything I make. I mainly use a combination of real wood boards and wood-veneer plywood.
We also now have a spray booth so we can end up with a better and smoother finish on our projects. We do latex/hybrid paint finishes and latex/oil varathane finishes primarily.
