I design everything I make and usually do complete drawings for most commissions. Upon completion all pieces are signed and dated, and the Roycroft Renaissance mark is added. The common themes linking my works are uniqueness of design, commitment to high quality, and attention to detail.

In 1995, Album Sleeper changed my life and career by recruiting me into this great organization. I received Master Artisan status in 1998, and I have served three terms as RALA board president. —Thomas Pafk
