Crafted Spaces
A handful of the rooms we've been honoured to make — slow kitchens, wardrobes, libraries, and other quiet places.
We are a small workshop that thinks slowly, drafts by pencil, and finishes by hand. Every cabinet is a reply to the room it lives in — quietly, beautifully, for decades.
We choose the work we take on the way we choose our timber: with patience, judgement, and a long memory.
Inset doors, hand-cut dovetails, oil-and-wax finishes. Designed around how you actually live in the room.

Learn moreCedar-lined, leather-pulled wardrobes that quiet the morning rush.
Learn moreFloor-to-ceiling shelving in oak, ash, or cherry. With brass details and a rolling ladder if you'd like.
Learn moreWorking rooms made beautiful — open shelving, sliding ladders, and a lot of jar storage.
Learn moreCabinetry returned to its first life with grain-matched repairs and period-correct hardware.

Hollow & Vine began as a single bench in a converted hay barn outside Montpelier. Twenty years on, we are still six people, still finishing one room at a time, and still asking the question that started it all:
"What would this room ask for, if it could speak?"
The answer, we've found, is rarely loud — and almost always made of wood that's been growing longer than we have.
Anders trades his apprenticeship apron for a workshop key. The first commission is a butcher block table.
An architectural drafter and finisher with a feel for light. The shop quietly doubles in capacity and care.
A 24-foot library wall in white oak, our first multi-month commission. Still a phone call we'll take.
We start sourcing reclaimed New England barn timber, milled within 60 miles of the workshop.
We take on our first apprentice, the way Anders was once taken on. The craft has to keep moving.
Eight projects a year, by design. We'd rather make fewer rooms perfectly than many rooms quickly.
Send us a few sentences about the room you have in mind. We'll write back with thoughts, questions, and a date for tea.
We meet most clients first at the workshop — there's something about the smell of fresh shavings that makes the conversation honest.
