Here, the client wanted a table that would play with the curved elements already in the room, yet be airy so as not to overwhelm them. A lovely little table - I look forward to making more like it. |

| Using the shape of an acorn as a starting point, this one-of-a-kind chair used and required almost every woodworking technique in the book! Stack-lamination (the back), bent-lamination (the seat rail that connects the two front legs via the back ones), curved and angled tenons hold the splats in place, plenty of carving... add upholstery and the hammer-formed badge, and you've got a real beauty! | |||||||||||||||||

| I love the Carmen Chair. Designed as a vanity chair, it's sumptuous curves and striking details make it a real joy to be around. Someday I hope to build the vanity to match - beautiful! | |||||||||||||||||

This fishtank stand is designed for the 20 to 35 gallon tank. It has lots of room inside for storage of the usual items, nets, towels, the outlet strip and transformers. The pocket shelves on the sides are great for fishfood and other item that need to be handy. |

This larger fishtank stand was designed for a 60-gallon tank. Tank stands are usually so boring, but clearly it doesn't have to be that way!

| This table was modeled after a game table by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, but it's very different too. I like the juxtaposition of the modern glass look with the old fashioned milk paint finish. |  |

I am very fond of this piece because of how it uses so many different disciplines: Some tricky woodworking to house and hide the door mechanism; artist's paints to cover the front; the silver leaf applied using the traditional water-guilding method and then shellacked to appear like gold; the red area is upholstered in felt. All of this built to house the relic: a silver ring, set into the upholstered section, that within itself has all of the same visual elements as the reliquery: the yin & yang; the I-Ching trigrams, and the spiral element. A very fun piece to make! |

This piece was a collaboration with then-Portland glass artist Deborah Hunt. The table was inspired by a 'game table' by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, as was the 'Mackie Table', above. |

| This was the first of the 'flying Vee' chests of drawers. It's a dresser, with tons of room in its 7 drawers. Note that the scale changes from top to bottom; even the handmade bronze drawer-pulls reflect this. Other fun details include the use of Lacewood veneer up top and Lacewood insets on each foot. The sides are veneered with Walnut burl... |  |
