William Leffingwell,
Cabinet Maker

Real furniture for real American Homes

 

Who Am I?

My wife, Nancy, and I live in the mountains in Richwood, WV (formerly we lived near Hot Springs, Virginia.) I have been making furniture for more than 15 years. Nancy has had her own business, Nancy Leffingwell Enterprises, for 18 years. The last 12 years she has been providing a complete web design/hosting service.

I was an aerospace engineer in the early days of weapon system development and space exploration. I then spent 18 years Commercial Fishing (red snapper, grouper and king mackerel)

During the last 15 years I've remodeled and built houses, owned and ran a bed and breakfast in north Georgia, and made furniture. I'm now semi-retired (this means no more house building or remodeling) During this same time frame I studied furniture making and design under a wonderful furniture maker/designer in Easthampton, Massachusetts, by the name of Bill Sayre. He was solely responsible for turning an inexperienced person into a good craftsman.

My philosophy is - my furniture shall be useful above all. Every piece should be functional so the owners will use it in their everyday life.

I've talked Nancy into making a website for my furniture and my cutting boards. Please enjoy, and if you have any questions, please give me a call or e-mail me.
