Furniture
Here are my favorite pieces of furniture I have created recently. Clicking on a photo expands it.
The Swamp Table (2023), inspired by the Louisiana wetlands. Cypress knees adjoined with copper gilded poplar tenons.
The Magma Lamp (2024), meant to entrance, to exist as more than a light. Metal mesh and expanding foam covered with crushed Colorado sandstone and resin.
The Cairn Chair (2024), emulating the robustly balanced mounds of rocks that have forever guided wanderers. Maple with domino joinery. Made primarily at Haystack School of Craft, with attendance made possible through the Carolyn J. Springborn Scholarship in Wood.
The Deer Isle Mirror (2025). Inspired by coastal Maine, the design features organic wave like curves not in spite of, but in support of its intended functionality - a home for everything you carry in your pocket. Note - this is a high fidelity prototype. Final wave ledge will be polished resin.
The Magma Table (/) Lamp, in use as a table. Beside it, my father reading in the Cairn Chair.
The Ranch Table (2023), sleek lines and suggestions of inner complexity, an ode to joinery. Reclaimed pine and cedar.
The Deer Isle Mirror, loaded with the things I use every day. Note - this is a high fidelity prototype. Final wave ledge will be polished resin.
Magma Table (/) Lamps (2024). Crushed red sandstone gives them their tint, a little bit of Colorado in each lamp. A friend tells me it reminds him of Morrocan lounges, fire bouncing off cave walls, things like that. Something like that.
A detail shot of the Ranch Table. Dovetails hidden by half laps attach the legs, and sliding dovetails bring together the table top pieces. All hand cut.

The Nocturne Chair (2023), inspired by the night skies of rural Colorado. Shou sugi ban pine and silver leaf work together to imitate the stars in the sky.
