ed overbay

Ed Overbay is a woodworker, a builder, engineer, and fundamentally an artist. His dedication to the wood craft is relentless and ever-evolving. He’d developed an early appreciation for historic architecture, building technologies and craftsmanship during the years he spent working on vintage homes alongside his father, an old-school builder familiar with all aspects of construction. It was then when he had begun honing his skills in foundation construction, framing, plumbing, wiring, plastering, cabinetmaking and trim. This work provided motivation to pursue design and building as a vocation, and then he’d turned his hand to fine woodworking. On his shelf, you can be sure to find the musings of cerebral powerhouses Leonardo DaVinci and Carl Sagan. In the realm of woodwork and architecture, he is inspired by masters such as Charles and Henry Greene, Wharton Esherick, Sam Maloof, George Nakashima and James Krenov. Ed has built a tenacious reputation for his work. His designs can be found in many fine homes and his work is exhibited in galleries throughout the region.
