Modern Farmhouse Table

30 x 34 x 71

$2,300

I used framing timbers from a demolished home for the top, after I heat-treated them for sterilization. The wood is a deep warm brown and tan, and will be at home in many settings, from traditional to super modern.

PINE LIVE EDGE TRESTLE TABLE

30 x 37 x 77

$1,700

A trestle table is a classic form, it is both graceful and practical, allowing chairs to get close without legs being in the way.

The top is live edge Torrey pine, the base is stained maple.

TASMANIAN SASSAFRAS TABLE

30 x 37 / 34 x 75 3/4

$2,800

This spalted Tasmanian Sassafras is as rare as it is delightful. I decided to make a table that presents the wood in an understated and refined way.

The base is ball peened steel that is finished with matt chrome.

BLACK WALNUT TABLE

29 x 40 x 97 1/2

$3,750

This walnut table deserves to be the center of good dinner parties!

The wood grew and was milled in Oregon, and the arches were formed here in Los Angeles.

DEODAR CEDAR TABLE

29 x 37/31 x 86

$2,600

Deodar cedar is the original himalayan cedar, though this one grew in Altadena, California. It was milled by Rich Benson, a retired JPL engineer who worked on the Voyager spacecraft. In fact Rich was loading a wood slab onto my truck when he went inside to take a scheduled conference call. Turns out he had to turn the steering wheel on the Voyager, the most distant man-made object in the universe, then come back outside and wrestle a lump of wood with me.

The rich swirls of grain and the cedar fragrance that comes through the finish make this table feel so real and natural.

INDUSTRIAL SHELVING UNIT

52” tall 24” deep 60” wide

$2,350

I spend my days in an industrial part of town, and I love the steel, concrete and timber the workshops are made of. These materials are part of the charm of loft living too. This shelving unit is made from a salvaged workbench and a re-imagined storage rack.

The maple shelves have been cleaned and coated with polyurethane for a beautiful finish that preserves the working history of the bench.

DESERT JUNIPER COFFEE TABLE

15 1/4” tall 42” wide

$1,800

I got this piece of juniper from a friend who lives in the high desert. When I cleaned it up and polished it the grain fascinated me. I felt a glass table top would be a great way for people to enjoy the beauty of this desert tree.

CONTOUR BENCH

17 x 22 1/2 x 61

$1,400

This sitting bench faces both ways - people can keep their own company or chat to the person next to them. That’s the obvious conclusion, of course. My motivation in making this was to capture a feeling of the swirl of life, and to make an inviting place to rest. I think this bench is suited to an entry space, or a quiet retreat close to a garden.

That’s Paige in the photo - a talented metalworker who sometimes helps out with the metalwork artist who made the spiral base.

IPE TABLE

30 x 35 1/2 x 66

$2,500

This table will seat six people very comfortably, and more if you're good friends and family. It has a compact form. The legs are blended in both directions into the apron, giving the table a mid-century studio woodworker feeling.

The top is made from salvaged Ipe fencing. Ipe is one of the hardest woods in the world, growing very slowly in the tropical Americas. The maple dots on the top are where the boards were screwed to the fencing posts.

The legs and apron are American hard maple.

One of my favorites.

CHERRY TABLE

30 x 35 1/2 x 73

$2,500

A wonderful cherry and ash dining table, sitting room for eight people.

The 1 1/2" thick top feels grounded and inviting - the texturing on the ends is a delightful surprise for fingertips.
