REVOLUTIONARY DESIGNS, INC. is a small family operated woodworking shop started by Rick and Donna Chrisman in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. The shop is now located on 20 rural acres in western Arkansas. This setting allows us to live our dream and provides the inspiration for our work.

We became interested in woodworking as a hobby in 1980 and together took courses at a local Dallas community college and from other woodworkers that offered classes on various hand tools and machines. As our skills and interest increased we began doing custom woodworking for the public. This developed into an interest in box making of various influences and styles. Rick’s mentor was a Shaker box maker and when he retired we took over the business of making Shaker reproduction boxes.

Once we mastered the craftsmanship needed to produce these bentwood boxes we began crafting a broader range of items based on the Shaker style. The creative use of the Shakers methods, quality joinery and contrasting wood resulted in high quality boxes that include canister sets, jewelry boxes, pillow top boxes and desk sets.

We are proud of the consistent quality, hand selected woods and variety of product we offer.
