Phil Morley

Phil is a custom furniture maker located in St. George, Maine where he resides with his wife and four children. Philip was originally trained at age 16 in carpentry and joinery under the City Guilds of London, England. His interest turned to furniture while working alongside a Rhode Island School of Design graduate. Philip quickly fell in love with the precision, craftsmanship, and creativity required in furniture making. He is known for his clean simplistic design style while incorporating complex woodworking techniques and details in his pieces. He apprenticed under master craftsman Michael Colca and started his own business in 2017, building one-of-a-kind pieces. He has immensely enjoyed working out of his studio. Recently, Philip has been honored to serve as a fellow at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine. In addition to building furniture, Philip has been teaching classes throughout the United States. Philip has won several awards for his furniture, nationally and internationally, including “Best in Show” at the Texas Furniture Maker’s Show.
