Owner David King has more than 25 years of experience in the building trades. He spent 10 years with the Smithsonian Institution fabricating a wide variety of exhibit display cases, diaoramas, and interactive wall panels.

He specializes in historic preservation work for older homes and churches. Vestibule doors with raised panels, fluted astragals and beveled glass have also become a specialty, using solid hardwoods such as white oak and mahogany.

David designs and builds custom furniture, with influences from the early American period as well as Arts and Crafts. Fine details such as tapered legs, matching wood grains, and crisp mouldings are all featured in his furniture. Antique furniture repair and restoration is another service offered by Bristol Woodworks.
