  • Artist's Statement

  • While studying the science of wood as a student in college, I became fascinated with its many properties, especially the variety of grains, unusual figures, and beautiful colors.  In fine furniture making, my objective is to transform this natural beauty into objects that provide visual interest, excitement, and uniqueness.  Technically, I enjoy the challenges of construction and joinery to create a piece that will last for generations. 

  • About My Work

  • My furniture is available on a first-come first-served basis.  Most pieces are one-of-a-kind and may be impossible to duplicate exactly.  Wood species (domestic and foreign) and veneers are hand selected for their unique grain and color patterns from limited inventories, again making it difficult to impossible to replicate previous works.

    Project designs are chosen for a variety of reasons.  My first criteria is that the piece must be visually pleasing and meet basic characteristics of good design.  Although appearance is in the eye of the beholder, gentle symmetry and flowing curves assist in defining proportions for discriminating owners.  My inventory of books, magazines, sketches, and photos provide inspiration from the past and present to draw upon.  

    A second criteria include esthetic designs that lend themselves to using different combinations of wood, capitalizing on grain and color contrast and assuring uniqueness, such as walnut and maple borders.  Although more expensive, the availability of foreign woods such as paduak and cocobolo broaden the selection of visual contrast.  All woods and wood materials I purchase are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified … nationally recognized in more than 50 countries.

    Adding even more excitement and challenge are those designs that incorporate highly figured veneers, allowing subtle bends and shapes not normally possible of thick wood, even if you could find it.  Of course, the majority of my work is crafted using traditional joinery such as dovetails and mortise-tenons joints.  

    Lastly, simple but elegant details;  a small touch of inlay;  a bottom edge cock bead;  an ebonized  leg;  a simple carving; a rounded end; even an accidental “birthmark”; and a simple but beautiful lacquer finish.
