Ernest Thompson

Our Story

At Ernest Thompson, we take pride in creating one-of-a-kind, heirloom-quality furniture and cabinets that capture the essence of the Southwest. Our journey began in the early 1970s, when Ernest Thompson, a self-taught artist, started woodworking as a way to create frames for his artwork. Over time, his passion for woodworking evolved into Ernest Thompson Furniture, a legacy that continues to flourish today.

Our Approach

Our commitment to excellence is rooted in our commitment to traditional craftsmanship. We use time-honored techniques, such as mortise and tenon joinery, French dovetails, hand-carved details, and multi-step, hand-rubbed finishes to create furniture and cabinets that are truly exceptional. Our dedication to quality and attention to detail sets us apart from others in the industry.
