He produced individually crafted, high-quality furniture and continued making bespoke pieces until his retirement in 2010.

His work is represented in the National Museum of Ireland's collections, reflecting his importance within the Irish furniture-making tradition.

Tom Dowd furniture is relatively uncommon on the second-hand market, making this an interesting set for anyone who appreciates Irish craftsmanship, vintage furniture and traditionally made solid-wood furniture.
