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

Bathtub Grate in Ipe

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

The clients needed a way to use their shower without stepping down into their tub, which was set flush with the floor. The solution was to construct a series of I-Beams with sliding dovetails. Since there are no nails or other metal fasteners, the grate will never rust or corrode.


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
