Except for the Memorial Bench, a commission, all the following pieces were designed and built as portable show pieces of innovative design and expert execution. One design led to another. The Maple Padouk table begat the Walking Table which then led to Walking Together and Tutu Table. And there are 20 more variations floating around my mind, just waiting for the spare time or the commission to build them. That's where you come in. |
Maple Padouk Table 16"x20"x30" - 2nd prize winner in woodworking at the 2006 Marin County Fair, inspired by Florentine designs and figure drawing, the
legs are Padouk, provided by sustainable West African forests,
| the
quilted maple top is extraordinary and rare. SOLD - a smilar design is available on a custom basis. | The "Walking Table," winner of Honorable Mention at the
2006 Marin County Fair, is a spin-off from the first table, with a never-done-before, to my knowledge, innovative leg design. |

Another angle on "Walking Table." Curly maple and Padouk. Oil finish. 20"x20"x30"H. One table has been sold. | Memorial Bench, curly maple, 15"Hx12"W28"L,. A child's size bench for the siblings of an infant who died at 15 months. | "Katrina Bench, Broken Dreams and Renewal," whose wood, a unique plank of figured maple with splits and knot
holes, was repaired with epoxy, sanded smooth and assembled with
dovetail joints. SOLD. Other benches can be ordered. |
