Over the years, we have been fortunate to receive recognition for our work from a variety of sources including periodic articles featuring our furniture and cabinetry, success in the competitive environment of juried shows, and a blue ribbon at a state fair. Two of the acknowledgements we have received are of special significance to us and our clients, because they reflect directly upon the way we have developed the work of our shop.

In 1999, TheVirginia Society of the American Institute of Architects awarded "Society Honors’ to Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers, "for outstanding design and superior craftsmanship, exemplified in cabinetry, furniture and special millwork over the past 25 years." It is particularly gratifying to be acknowledged by those who design the homes where so much of our work resides.

During the years we have been pursuing our craft, Tauton Press has become the foremost publisher of woodworking literature, leading with their flagship publication, Fine Woodworking magazine. Every two years, the editors hold a competition for outstanding designs in wood. A single edition may receive as many as 10,000 entries. Winning designs are published in Tauton’s Design Book series, an extraordinary collection of furniture, turnings and accessories.

The work of Jaeger & Ernst cabinetmakers has been chosen for publication in three of the last four publications, Design Book IV, Design Book VI, and Design Book VII. In Design Book Vll, we received the unusual distinction of having had three works selectedfor thoughtful design and careful execution, in a single edition.

Jaeger & Ernst are active members of the Association of Virginia Artisans and The Furniture Society. Our associations with the burgeoning community of American artisans, supports our creative interests and broadens our creative horizons
