Fine Line Classics by David Hatch
10374 Wisconsin 42 Sister Bay, 54234“If you can imagine it, I can build it,” says Door County Furniture maker, David Hatch.
Hatch feels a personal connection with every piece of furniture that he makes. Because 90% of his business is commissioned, he believes that the pieces are never his because they are really someone else’s ideas originally. He feels that his satisfaction results from the fact that a piece starts a new life once it leaves his studio.
“The biggest satisfaction I get is being able to bury myself in a project – and then being able to let it go, knowing that, because it’s a custom piece, it will have a place in someone’s home for years to come.”
He encourages the customer to have input in the design process. David offers them options like selections of wood grain and the types of finish he applies, as well as certain key elements of the basic design.
“It truly becomes custom when customers make every decision regarding the piece and they enjoy that,” says Hatch. “Then, it takes on a life of its own and becomes priceless to its creators.”
