Biography of:
Dennis Fry
Pine River Woodcraft is a home-based custom
woodworking shop. Since starting the business in 1981, I have worked with
individuals, shops, and interior designers in the southern Wisconsin and
northern Illinois areas, designing and building products ranging from small
tables and boxes through kitchens and custom doors to built-in bookcases and
entertainment centers.
The pieces shown are original designs made from start to finish here in my
shop. All work involved, from selecting the wood to use for each piece to
applying the finish, is done by me. I have built many of the machines that I
use in my shop to do specific jobs required for my designs. Recently, I have
even begun cutting and drying my own wood for some items to get the desired
quality and appearance. Much of the work can only be done by hand,
especially the final sanding and finishing.
A small sampling of my work is on display here at the gallery. Also on
display is my photo book for anyone interested in custom work.
