Ben Bogie
New Milford, Connecticut
Growing up in Connecticut he spent most of his young life in his father’s cabinet shop where he gained his love of woodworking. After high school he worked briefly in the restaurant industry and then went on to finish carpentry. Ben has been working as a cabinet maker but realized that learning furniture making skills in work environment would take years. So embarked on formal training which brought him to the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship. He hopes to become proficient with hand skills and looks forward to integrating technology creating functional and artistically tasteful furniture in his own shop.
“I look forward to creating pieces that are fulfilling both to the mind and the human spirit. In the words of Stephen Hawking – we are so very very small but capable of such profoundly big things.” - Ben Bogie
