Thanks to FineWoodworking for inviting me to share a special piece of mine, 300 Year Mantel. This piece seems to capture my ethos as someone who is putting new objects out into the world. Pick up their latest issue! Thanks to Alicia Dietz Studios for the photo.

Another recent piece, the Maymont Bed. While this bed has been finished for some time it's great to finally share some photos. The bed celebrates the richness of sugar maple in a slatted headboard, each slat with a soft pillowed shaped. That, with a smooth and soft tung oil and wax finish makes for a piece to cozy up in. More shots in profile link and to come. Many thanks again for the great shots.

Remembering this tiny tiny dovetailed chest and tools from at the open house. Well done! I'll stick to full size 😜

Brandywine Bed detail. Scoops and faceted bed posts shaped with hand tools shows lots of character up close. Striving always to incorporate hand work which is well placed.

Great details of limited edition boxes done for "Everglades" series. Laser by .

Design drives my methods of making. Even in a well equipped shop long sweeping concave curves can easily get subtle lumps on a big sander. A pass with the often forgotten compass plane is quick and fairs up the smooth shape. Sometimes hand tools are faster, despite what they add in grace and character. I'm always pondering when to use a machine or to just do something by hand. Interestingly sometimes the machine route would take a gazillion dollar robot to achieve the right design. Especially then, hand tool skills win.

Leaf hinges are the most common type, though installing them well for an exceedingly long life takes some doing. It's small, but I like leaving the score marks around where the leaf is inlaid. Only found when done by hand.

New Design! Elizabeth's Mirror. A standing wall mirror stripped to its most essential and properly joined at all 6 joints with dovetails. Solid maple slatted back. Walnut/maple shown, all birdseye maple to come! -
