 Coffee table
 Walnut, copper
 Polyurethane, wax
 May, 2006
Notes
I bought the wood that became the table top without knowing what I'd make out of it. I liked the sapwood in the bookmatched boards
and wanted to emphasize it, so I created a gap between them bridged by floating 1/4" copper tenons. The tenons are spaced apart in an
effort to match the grain of the boards, which look rippling water to me. It is difficult to see in these photos, but the bottom shelf is
made of two boards with the same amount of distance between them as the top. These boards are joined to the stretcher with through
mortice and tenon joints.

 Butcher block art
 Scrap wood
 No finish
 June, 2006
Notes
I decided to do something with some of the small scraps of wood I generate other than burn them, and a butcher block table seemed
like the best idea. However, not all species of wood make good cutting boards, and pieces of roughly uniform size are needed. Rather
than wait years to collect pieces of the right species and size, I decided to glue up the scraps I had (and some I made) and hang it on a
wall. It is about 18' high, 42" wide, and 6" at its deepest. It is heavy.

Small boxes
Quilted, curly, and
spalted maple; cherry;
mahogany; walnut
Shellac, wax
September, 2006
Notes
These boxes were made from remnants of other projects, some dating back more than 10 years. The basic design is roughly the same
for each box, but the joinery and wood used is different for each. The handle for each lid is a forged iron ring. I didn't have access to a
camera when I finished the project, so no photos. My apologies.

Wall-hanging cabinet
Maple, walnut
Shellac, wax
October, 2006
Notes
This cabinet is 29" high, 12" wide, and 7" deep. It is designed to hang flush against a wall with a French cleat. The idea for the cabinet
came while working on a separate project. I needed some more walnut, so I went to my scrap pile and started milling a board I'd had
lying around. I knew the board had some figure, but when I ripped it in half, I was surprised by how much and how unusual the figure
was. The board was too good to waste on the project I was working on, and so I decided to make this cabinet. The pictures don't
really do the figure justice. The door panel is bookmatched, but the two halves do not appear identical because the cellular structure of
the wood runs in opposite directions. In other words, as you change your viewing angle, the two halves of the panel change their
appearance. It is a unique effect.

The carcase is constructed with box joints (also known as finger joints). The door pull is hand-carved and asymmetrical (intentionally
this time). The shelves are removable and adjustable. The door frame joinery is pinned with 1/4" walnut pegs.

Floor lamp
Cherry
Watco oil, wax
August, 2007
Notes
The lamp is 12" x 12" at the base. It's 47 1/2" high without a shade, and with the shade it is 57 1/2". The letters were hand-stamped in
a random pattern. I could lie and say the inspiration came from a bowl of alphabet soup, but it actually came from seeing the metal
stamps in a catalog.
No photos. Sorry.
