My client had a large painting & she wanted an accent piece to go under it. She wanted a clean modern look, I used quarter sawn walnut & walnut veneer. We thought the sideboard worked well in the space. (painting was not installed yet when pic was taken)

Made this Demi Lune table for a small space. Wanted to try something curved so I used bent lamination technique. It features a solid cherry top & tapered cherry legs . It has mortise & tenon joinery leg to apron construction. It was fun to build & went to a good home

The Toledo library commissioned this case to display an antique model ship. To match the paneling in the room in the Children's section of the Main branch we chose walnut plywood and solid walnut. Because of it's large size this piece had to be constructed in sections and assembled on site. After the case was in place we had contractors install the tempered glass.

Here's a desk I made several years ago for a customer. It is designed to fit the Frank Lloyd Wright look of this Prairie Style home.

The desk is made of cherry wood vaneers with a MDF cores. It was constructed in several pieces to facilitate installing it in a tight spot.

The vaneered surfaces are edged with solid cherry

This is a rocking chair I made back in the '80s while I was a student at the Wendell Castle Workshop in Rochester, NY.. I designed it so that I could play my banjo while sitting on it so that is why it has no arms. I used the bent lamination technique to form all the curved parts. The back slats are cherry and the rockers are white oak. Originally it had a handmade rag rug seat. It has been reupholstered with leather. My son owns it now and it's held up very well

Check out my latest post about the headboard I've been working on!
