ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS Hones Design StudioLocation: Benjamin, UTPrimary Medium: Fine hand carved wood sculpture and furnitureProfile What started as a small family woodworking business 48 years ago, has evolved into one of the most noteworthy custom design and hand carved furniture studios in the country. Al Hone’s grandfather started a cabinet and furniture business that has seen four generations of woodworkers. Al started helping at the shop as soon as he could push a broom. Soon he was building his own pieces of furniture and built his first desk by age twelve. He took over the cabinet business when his father retired. In 1998 Al decided to try his hand at a more artistic approach. He began carving smaller wood, sculptural pieces and soon the wood carving and the furniture design combined to create beautiful pieces of functional art. In 2001 Al applied for, and was juried into, the Western Design Conference. His first piece there met with rave reviews, and he has been invited back every year since. The Western Design Conference showcases what it bills as the top western designers and artists in the world. In 2001 Al won the People’s Choice Award for his “Majestic Moose Bar”. In 2005 he entered “Grandpas Desk” and received Best of Show. 2006 brought two awards for “Time Well Spent”, Exhibitors Choice Award, and Best Artist Accent. With meticulous attention to detail, and a feel for true balance in his art, Al Hone has made an impact. Working closely with clients and designers the he can create everything from one of a kind pieces of furniture, to a custom home that is truly unique and inviting.
