CHARLOTTE PERRIAND STOOL

My newest creation is a reproduction of a 1950's French chalet stool designed by Charlotte Perriand, the famous French modernist.  All the douglass fir used to make the stools came from the floor joists of San Francisco's only pipe organ factory located in the Mission.

BENT LAMINATE BOOKSHELVES

These book shelves are the design of local San Francisco architect Michael Metiu. I collaborated with Michael by prototyping and building them for a possible production line. Contact me if you are interested in making an order.

LEVIS WINDOW #2

STEAM BENDING IN COLORADO

I spent two weeks in July learning how to steam bend wood at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado, and this is one of my creations. The first of many experiments in steaming! As soon as I get my own steamer up and running, you will be seeing many more of these organic forms.

RECLAIMED REDWOOD AND JAPANESE JOINERY

Making this entertainment console was a great opportunity to use some old turn of the century redwood that I had accumulated and try my hand at using hand tools for all of the joinery. Redwood is a great wood for this as it's softness makes for smooth chiseling and good compression fit joints. I tried my best to leave all the idiosyncrasies of the wood (holes, paint remnants, kerf marks, etc...) so as to keep the wood's rustic character.
