I am Jim Becker and my business is Jas. Becker Cabinetmaker, Incorporated.  I’ve been making custom, reproduction and my own original design furniture beginning January 1, 1987 in Lebanon, N.H. and since the summer of 1990 in Wilder, Vermont.  My woodworking background includes most of a year working at Lash Brothers Boatyard in Friendship, Maine (1979 to 1980) where I helped to build a 65 foot wood fishing boat and five and a half years working at Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers, then in New Gloucester and Auburn, Maine (1980 to 1986) where I learned to make beautiful furniture.

More than half my work is custom or one-of-a-kind pieces.  As often as not I am designing and building to compliment existing decor.  Orders range in size from a single footstool to a four bedroom home in Michigan and a similar size townhouse in NYC.  Many of the amateur photos here came from one or the other of the latter two orders.  I love the challenge of making new items and many of my favorite projects have been desks, the most recent example being the Cylinder Desk pictured elsewhere on this site.
