Bowfront Foyer Stand

 This is my foyer stand which I built in 2012. It is primarily mahogany, but the top and the door are in "bees wing" andiroba. "Bees wing" is a reference to the grain figure, having a translucent effect like the wing of an insect under magnification. This was a particularly challenging piece, with it's compound curves in the door. I also laid up a sunburst veneer face on the top surface.

Radiance Handglass

 

Here are several examples of my Radiance Handglass. With its sleek art deco lines it makes a lovely dresser accessory. I have won several awards with this design. It took "Best In Show" award in the 1998 Alabama Woodworkers Guild annual show. In '99, submissions were solicited through employees of Woodcraft, the woodworking supply chain. I was awarded $800 for being selected first by their jury.

Maple End Tables

 

This pair of end tables, "Racked Angles" and "Strata Spheres" are crafted in "curly maple" veneers and solids.

I designed them to give them an impression of instability, but both of them are fully rigid in their construction. I can do these same tables in any number of wood species.

Harlequin End Table

 I called this table "Harlequin" because the name just seemed to fit the design when I finished it. It is built of mahogany, with fiddleback makore veneers and Gabon ebony details. It is now in the collection of Dr. Roger Murphree, DC, in Birmingham
