Fir Slice Table
Fir Slice Table
Fir tabletop made from slices of windfall that were dried for about a year, then machined and assembled in a hexagonal pattern. The pith (center) of each slice is perfectly equidistant from it's neighbors. I used Jarrah for the bowties that reinforce the checks in the slices, as well as the pieces that fill the voids at the table's edge, keeping the natural shape of the slices' edge intact.
The tapered hexagonal base is Douglas fir with Bloodwood accents, on a painted steel base.

Ash Dining Table

The client wanted a thin tabletop on a stump base. Most of the challenge in this build was designing the steel support system that keeps the top from curling up like a Pringles chip. Slots and inserts allow the top and base to move independently. The finish is black ink with a poly topcoat.

Angled Coffee Cabinet
Angled Coffee Cabinet
A downtime project at the garage door shop. The top is reclaimed meranti I milled from the pallets that marine-grade ply ships on. The case is leftover fir from a door that pre-dated my tenure there. There was a need for a cabinet to hold up a Keurig and store coffee paraphernalia in a tight spot.

I built two of these tables. The first was from white oak with a driftwood base. The designer was pleased enough to order a second one for a different project in ash with heavy legs for the base. The black squares are charred into the top with a branding iron straight from the forge.

This piece, from 2007, was built for my child, so it had to be cute. I designed it with mechanical drawing methods and built (and finished) it in a dirt floor garage. The pulls were handmade and custom finished to the client's exacting color choices, but sized so they could be readily replaced when tastes changed. This piece is still in use, going strong, but the hardware has been exchanged for contrasting oil-rubbed bronze pulls.
