Herbert “Tito” Pretel is an artist who specializes in custom woodworking. He makes everything from architectural woodwork and cabinetry to furniture. While fascinated by new technology and keeping up with new developments, Tito still believes that “analog rules” and is happiest when working with his hands.

Some results are shown here. All examples were made by Tito–most designed by him, and where noted, some designed by others.
