West coast walnut, approximately 22”h by 18”w by 9”d, lacquer finish Can you see the horse/goat/deer/bull face in the book-matched grain like many people who have seen this wall-hung cabinet? I see the goat and deer and maybe a pony, but not the bull. I didn’t see any sort of […]
Walnut, cherry 22 1/2″h x 13 1/4″w x 6 1/8″d This cabinet gets its name from the age of the walnut. Actually, I have no idea how old it is, but it was sitting for untold years in a barn when the person that I bought it from bought it […]
Ash, figured Oregon maple, walnut, art glass 25 ¾”h x 17 ½”w x 7 ½”d There are two drawers with burl walnut fronts behind the doors of this cabinet. The panels are figured maple from Oregon and iridescent glass that variously looks plain opaque to the colors of an oil […]
Mahogany, goncalo alves 25 3/4″h x 14 1/4″w x 7″d This is one of my first cabinets, made over 20 years ago when genuine Honduras mahogany was still around and when I was still using “exotic” woods such as the goncalo alves panel. For ethical reasons, I don’t use those […]

Cherry, 36”l x 18”h x 9”d, oil/varnish finish I made this small bench for a client who had his own client who loves squirrels to the point where she buys large sacks of acorns to feed them. Good for the oak tree population. The bench is so small because it […]
Walnut, 39”w x 9’l x 30”h, wipe on poly finish Here’s a large table that could be used for dining or for conferences. I bought the slab from my favorite supplier, Groff & Groff Lumber, who has a large supply of slabs in many woods, mostly walnut and some of […]
Walnut, approximately 36”l x 30”w x 18”h, wipe on polyurethane finish I bought four of these small slabs (from Provenance in Philadelphia), all cut from the same tree, because the shape and the grain and figure appealed to me. I also liked the stark white of the sap wood. But […]
Walnut, live-edge top, 36”h x 36”w x 12”d Decades ago, when I had my first shop, I had to make some fan carvings in walnut for what I don’t recall, but, although I had no training in carving, I had my Uncle Vito’s carving tools and somehow figured out how […]
