ROBERT NICLAS
Artisan Woodworker
ROBERT’s passion for woodworking began to develop when he was young. Robert continues to embrace new challenges to learn and apply his skills to create unique beautiful works of art.
Every Artisan Piece Unique
Coming from generations of artists and musicians, ROBERT NICLAS has created, designed, and expressed himself through woodworking since his pre-teenage years. His passion is creating unique custom pieces, including wood furniture, boats, wood carvings, and custom stringed instruments. Each piece has its own story to tell, and he takes special care to let the wood sing and reflect Gods wonderful creation.
FEATURED ARTISAN WOODWORKING
“Robert has a talent for finding the absolute best exotic woods from around the globe…
…his artistry makes every item a collector piece.”
Robert has completed numerous woodworking/furniture projects for the Carlson Family. Most of the projects utilized lumber from the family farm. The projects included Robert’s signature two-legged coffee table, large oak slab table with matching benches, four-carved oak headboards, five-oak slab table/desk tops and more. Each project benefited from Robert’s unmatched woodworking skill, artistic eye, dedication to perfection and wonderfully flexible and accommodating personality. I look forward to the next woodworking project with Robert.
Robert has done several woodworking projects for me over the past 12 years and I recommend Robert without reservation for his heirloom quality woodworking artistry. I am a woodworker, but next to Robert’s artistry in wood I realize I am a wood butcher! Robbie can take the most complex tasks, like the joints in compound curves on the doves in these pictures, and execute them perfectly.

That takes a level of talent that few woodworkers possess. That combined with the fact that he is a joy to work with makes any project with Robbie a rewarding adventure! We proudly display his artistry on this beautiful kayak above our kitchen cabinets. We just couldn’t come to terms with the chance of damage to this work of art on the rocky Washington beaches. Notice the work on the crotch mahogany veneer on the kayak. I have worked with crotch mahogany, and I know for a fact that executing perfection with the book-matching of the veneer takes talent way beyond my skill level! Also note the display stands that Robbie custom configured for displaying the kayak - beautifully done and very functional! Robbie also has a talent for finding the absolute best exotic woods from around the globe, which along with his artistry makes every item a collector piece.
I’ve worked with Robert for well over 20 years building luxury yachts and have seen the quality of his work first hand. His work ethic and talent are absolutely remarkable and as a person, he is truly exceptional. Robert has a gift! On the personal side, my wife and I have also purchased several pieces of art from Robert and they are incredible. As you look at them, you're amazed at every little detail captured in each of his carvings. Anyone looking for a custom piece will be blown away by his talent.
