Our Story
I started construction at the age of 16. I was introduced to remodels where I participated in every phase of the build; however, it was near the final phase that intrigued me the most. I was amazed at how you could take a simple unfinished room and make it look so different by adding a few pieces of trim. Throughout the course of my time in construction I started noticing that a lot of people knew how to install basic trim, but it was only a handful that knew how to install trim by the old methods known as coping, which required an understanding of how the trim will fit together, very specific cutting techniques and a lot of attention to detail. It also required a level of patience that most carpenters were not willing to deal with. This is what separates Carpenters from Craftsmen. This level of craftsmanship piqued my interest for building Handcrafted Furniture. A process that would require a very skilled individual with a level of understanding, patience and attention to detail that is unsurpassed.
After 22 years of working and learning the trade I started MBrinkley Studios, my own personal line of Handcrafted Furniture tailored to my client’s needs. With more than 30+ years now behind me, I invite you to follow along with me as I produce beautifully handcrafted furniture using old techniques mixed with modern technology. Welcome to MBrinkley Studios.
This is Craftsmanship, inspired by you.
