The company maintains an inventory of over 10,000 board-feet of kiln-dried natural edge slabs, featuring the hardwood species commo

Of the many unexpected discoveries since moving my studio to Newburgh, NY, perhaps the most wonderful of all has been Monday onigiri (rice ball) lunches at at on Liberty Street. Yasuyo Hibino knows her way around the Japanese kitchen and her bento boxes are little works of art... More than that, she has attracted a group of avid fans who gather to wait in line for their lunches... a true pop up community! Soon she will be selling her onigiri at the and she asked me to make her some Port Orford Cedar boxes for carrying her goods to market. So much fun to make these boxes -- no glue, just tight finger joints, with a peppy Forbo linoleum bottom. Check her out in Cold Spring! I'm sure she will sell out fast...

Because I’m a wood nerd… when we milled this black cherry log in 2008 I documented the location of each slab in the log very carefully. After air-drying for years and kiln-drying it came back to the studio to wait for a project - and a chance to be reborn as a spectacular object… Now that project is at hand and we have the “map” of the tree, telling us which end was in the ground, which end in the sky… which side of each board faced the bark and which side the pith of the tree. It’s all very useful information when piecing together a large tabletop. Visual coherence. Reading the log. So exciting that we can do this!

Perhaps some of the most amazing material I’ve ever milled… *rope figured* black cherry sourced near Accord, NY for a table going into a very special room…! Stay tuned for the full transformation as it gets finished.

Some very special wood selected for this project! We quartersawed this walnut log after sourcing it on an old IBM property in Poughkeepsie, NY. This will become a very large modular tabletop so we selected the most stable material we could find. Black walnut never fails to amaze… -land -goodness-the-wide-belt-sander-works

Begin with raw materials… Wonderful collaboration with Get Bent Metalworks on some insanely complex modular table bases. Brilliant work by Alex, using precision laser cut aluminum plate to weld, grind, laugh, cry and deliver some magical objects! Next step, integration with walnut and cherry.
