I dropped my Iphone into an underground lake this summer on an adventure with some close friends, since then I’ve been trying to adopt a little less screen addicted lifestyle, read more, go to bed earlier, run, spend more time in nature- we’ll see how it goes. I think everyone could benefit from a little more of this?

I was asked to produce some Verpozen chairs for The Attaway, a new design shop in Southampton, New York. I had some gorgeous brown oak and quite unusual pale ripple sycamore that I thought would work well. I like the contrast of the two grains. It was a pleasure to work for the Attaways, and I wish them well in their new endeavour!
A recent commission to make a full-size dining table based on my Kei coffee table. Comfortably seats 6-8 people. Made in burr oak with walnut butterfly joints. Book-matched boards form the highly-charactered top that sits upon a base with a tapered design. The bench has a curved hand-sculpted top and legs that harmonize with the Kei table design.
I was commissioned to make a special bench for a very special tree in durable oak, the design allows for growth of the tree over time.
