Entrance Hall Table
The
legs on this hall table are five sided; the outer edges are softly
beveled , the inner surfaces are hand planed to a half circle, with the
strokes of the plane leaving a series of small crisp edges to see and
feel.
But it is the zebra-wood top that takes the show, with its spectacular grain pattern of undulating waves. The 3/32 shop-sawn veneer has the illusion of being a 1/2 deep in places, giving a mesmerizing treat to the eyes.
Mahogany, Zebra-wood, Walnut
and Cocobola inlay
17 1/2 wide 42 long 32 height
Side Table
The
table merges two colors the darker stripes of the zebra-wood and the
walnut. The grain of the top has a centered sweeping arch that plays
off the gentle curve of the legs. This table was featured in the
NYTimes article entitled "Simple & Straightforward" Jan. 31,
2008
Walnut, (drawer knobs carved Western Walnut) and Zebrawood, Ash
15 1/2 wide 46 long 31 height
Book / Music Stand
This
piece began with small pieces of spalted maple that were slated for
firewood or maybe a box. I needed to make a piece for a furniture show
that had the criteria having nothing larger than a 22x 22 footprint.
The tapered post is a series of laminations with hand planed bevel
corners that reveal the different layers of wood.

18 wide 41 to 52 adjustable height

Bedside Tables
The
sinew shaped legs, the skirt and the book platform slates, all have
mild curvatures that have been planed and spoke shaved. I used a much
darker cherry for the legs and they have aged naturally to a very deep
and unusual burgundy color, giving an interesting contrast.

Silverware Box
This
was commissioned to house family heirloom silverware. The handcut

indentations assist with moving the box. A fitted pacific cloth inner
box can be purchased to house the silverware.
