There is a paradox I work with
everyday in the shop. Being an outdoor person and avid hiker has shaped my
experience to believe that the best use for wood is a tree, yet it is also my
choice of material with which to design and build. It is with this reverence for the material
that I work toward making the most of this precious resource after it comes to
the shop. In the following gallery
pages, you may browse by furniture type, theme, and wood variety. Let me know if you’d like to sit down
together and explore the possibilities.
| The variety here represents furniture that can be found in most homes. All pieces employ traditional joinery techniques using solid lumber and modern veneering techniques with highly figured veneers. I use hand-rubbed tung oil on most furniture and conversion varnish with kitchen cabinetry depending on the final use and location. Keep in mind that almost all the shoji can be modified to be a part (a door, a panel, or an embellishment) of a piece of furniture. Contact me if you’d like to explore the possibilities. |
