Rob Hetler brings a lifetime of hand craftsmanship and an artist’s eye to the fine casework and furniture he builds in his shop on Whidbey Island in Washington State. Through thoughtful design and skilled execution, Rob expresses his passion for aesthetically beautiful woodwork that creates a sense of harmony, completeness, excellence and intrigue. “I have always believed that when everything in a project is in harmony, even if a viewer is un-knowledgeable about woodworking, they will be calmed in the presence of such work. They instinctively know that this is something of value. There is quality, even if they cannot define it.” – Rob Hetler
