10 Small Boxes Huddled Together for Warmth

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

My first “proper” piece, built in mid-winter while in Maine. (The name
was inspired.) This cabinet, executed in solid cherry from a single board, features two drawers and two doors. All boxes are constructed with internally-splined miters for strength and grain continuity. The pulls on the drawers and doors are actually small finger holes.

Dimensions: 18″W x 24″H x 10.5″D
Materials:Cherry, Maple
Finish:Hand-rubbed Oil w/ Natural Beeswax

Featured in Fine Woodworking‘s “Furniture: 102 Contemporary Designs” Special Issue, 2008.

Pearwood Mirrors

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

This mirror is made with Swiss Pear, a dense, fine-grained wood (and one of my personal favorites to work), and is constructed with wedged, tenoned miters. The opposing sides of the mirror are resawn to accentuate the dark streaks running through the otherwise pinkish grain. The mirror shown is a full-length, wall-hung version. As with all my work, each mirror is made to order, and can therefore be made to any size to fit your particular setting.

Dimensions: 67″ T x 20″ W x 1.5″ D (Shown)
Materials: Swiss Pear with Sterling Silver
Finish: Carnauba Wax

Heyward Coffee Table

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

Simple. Elegant. Graceful. These are not words that are generally used to describe my friend Tom, who originally commissioned this table. They do, however, describe this coffee table, which features a bookmatched top, and twelve individually-shaped and polished wedged through-tenons.

Dimensions: 49″ L x 28″ W x 16″ H
Materials: Solid Black Cherry with Texas Ebony
Finish: Three Coats of Hand-Rubbed Oil, Three Coats of Paste Wax

Double-Trestle Desk

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

This desk features one drawer, two pullout trays, hand-carved drawer pulls, breadboard ends (to allow for seasonal wood movement), over fifty mortise-and-tenon joints, and sixty-four individually-shaped and polished Texas Ebony pegs. There is also plenty of leg room on both sides of the desk, making it perfect for those long meetings.

As with all my pieces, this desk can be made to perfectly suit the user. The height of the desktop, in particular, can be adjusted before construction to maximize both comfort and function.

Dimensions: 74″ L x 32″ W x 29″ H
Materials: Solid Black Cherry with Texas Ebony and Maple
Finish: Three Coats of Hand-Rubbed Oil, Three Coats of Paste Wax

Bathtub Grate in Ipe

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

This grate is actually a series of interconnected, wooden I-Beams which hang from the lip of the tub, creating a flush surface to stand on while showering. The grate can be removed from the tub and stacked easily for bathing. The combination of Ipe (pronounced EE-pey), a dense tropical wood often used as a teak substitute, and Spar Varnish, which is commonly used to finish boat decks, make this a very strong and very durable piece.

Dimensions: 32″ W x 4″ D x 62″ L (15.5″ / section)
Materials: Ipe
Finish: Four coats of Marine-Grade Spar Varnish
Price: Private Commission

Dimensions: 62″ W x 17″ T x 14″ D
Materials:Solid Black Walnut
Finish:Hand-Rubbed Oil Finish with two coats of Natural Beeswax
Price:Private Commission
