I've made a few china cabinets over the years, and I was glad to get the commission for this one - I was challenged to come up with something that was more art nouveau than deco or arts and crafts, and here's the happy result.

Here's a design that's been on my computer for more than a year and now I've had a chance to make it. Cherry, curly maple and wenge - what a great combination.

I like some rustic furniture (not all, because I sometimes think it gets a bit trite), and have been trying to figure out a way to incorporate rustic elements into a piece without overdoing it. The alder twigs on this bed make it semi-rustic, which is as far as I want to go at this point... |

I learned to weave splint seats repairing old rocking chairs, and the next few examples are the result of this new material and technique. After doing seats, I began to incorporate the woven splint into my own designs. The results, so far, are a barstool, a couple of benches, a CD collector's cabinet, a set of closet doors and my newest bed (above), all shown here.

Flat screen TVs have changed what TV cabinets look like-this one has room for components below the screen, and shelves on either end for a library of CDs and DVDs.

This is a TV cabinet without a space for the TV - it hangs on the wall above the cabinet or stands on top of it, and the components go either on top or behind the doors, with the media stored in the drawers.

Here's a cafe table designed to be used with bar stools. It's 38" x 38", so it can seat 4 comfortably for casual meals. snacks and drinks. The stool shown above comes in two heights - counter and bar.
