“Standing is the New Smoking” Standing Desk

July 21, 2015 | Filed in: Art Progress, commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

This is the second standing desk I have built and installed this spring.  One client, when she was telling me why she wanted a standing desk, told me “standing is the new smoking” in terms of how bad it is for your health.  I love that line so I named my standing desk series after […]

Scottish Highlander Bovine Buffet

This buffet was made for a couple in Brooklyn, NY. I get many designs features from the natural world and animals. I usually name my furniture pieces after the animals that inspired them. Recently I’ve been into Scottish Highland cows, as evident of the design of this piece: the legs of the buffet have hoof-like […]

A client in Jackson Hole commissioned me to make a business sign for his office. He requested a Western aesthetic, but with a modern touch. He also wanted some aspect to reflect the history and sense of place of the area. I chose a font that was used on the old National Park Service posters […]

This is a custom piece a customer ordered as a gift for her father– it is an imaged scene based on a place in Wyoming he has a strong attachment to- the view of Fall Creek running through Wilson, Wyoming with Nora’s Fish Creek Inn nearby.  9″ x 12″, ink and watercolor on rice paper, […]

 

9’6″ Custom Entryway Table

April 21, 2010 | Filed in: commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

This is a custom entryway table I did for a coop building in Brooklyn.  They already had the mirror and wanted something to match the mirror and fit well in the space.  I worked with the client from the coop board on the design.  Because the top surface is quartz (i.e. heavy) I decided to […]

 

Skinny Buffalo, only darker.

April 21, 2010 | Filed in: commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

A customer in NYC requested a “Skinny Buffalo” design but in a darker tone to match her current dining room table. We raised the shelf up a bit to accommodate dinners on the floor (room for knees to fit under the table) and made it slightly longer and taller, to fit just right in front […]
