This is the new home for Adam King Fine Woodworking. I'm working on a brand new interactive site that will engage you, provide valuable information and resources for all of your needs in the areas of studio furniture and antique restoration. This site will have a regular blog, an email newsletter, a section for you to receive answers to all of your furniture questions, and of course a brand new gallery page. It's all part of my new direction here at Adam King Studio, to bring you a wealth of information and expertise to help solve your furniture needs.

As we prepare to move our designs from a flat 2D existence into the 3D world, we have to stop and take some time to practice our scales. Just like any aspect of the craft, we need to practice these fundamentals in order to grow and progress in our design vocabulary. Now let’s look at some basics to help us make this flat pencil drawing come to life!
