What Can I Build For You?
Walnut Coffee Table
It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to build a piece for my own use, but I had a couple of free days recently so I used them to build this coffee table. The design was done on the fly in order to complement the Hepplewhite sofa you can see in the finished pics as well as a farmhouse stye table in our adjacent dining room. The legs and apron are walnut that was salvaged from an old chest of drawers from my childhood home. Surprisingly, there wasn't enough usable wood to make the table top so that is made from a new piece of Peruvian walnut, which has a much more chocolate-y color than the salvaged wood. There is a seam in the center of the top, but I think I did a pretty great job of hiding it! General Finishes Arm-R-Seal (satin) and maple drawer box and slide complete the piece. I have approximately 15 hours in this piece.

Craftsman Desk
Design, progress, and finished photos of an original, craftsman-inspired desk for a client in Denver. The desk layout is taken from a 1960s Herman Miller office desk, transplanted to a Santa Barbara bungalow. Mahogany with ebony and maple, General Finishes Arm-R-Seal satin finish. This piece took 45 hours labor to complete.

Custom Cabinets
These are custom media and storage solution for a young family in North Capitol Hill/Five Points, Denver. This project had many of the challenges that you would expect in a ridiculously charming 100+ year-old house including uneven floors and odd cable and electrical outlet placement. There is an electrical outlet in the floor under the left-hand unit. I built a removable access panel into the kick base and a hidden wire chase in the back right corner of the cabinet, as well as providing for unobtrusive connections between the TV and A/V equipment. Hiding wires and creating a clean, self-contained finished product is absolutely essential in museum exhibits, and I love bringing this approach to residential projects in order to simplify the aesthetic of your space. I feel that this approach to design makes your home a more peaceful and enjoyable place to be. I delivered this project in late April 2015, it took approximately 35 hours to complete.
