This was my first attempt at getting commissioned. I don't think I will do it again because I don't think the appreciation is out there for the amount of work it takes to build something like this. I know this for sure based on the low ball request that I must have been out of my mind to agree...

I've had a design in mind for a desk clock for awhile now and finally made it. It's inspired by 1930's Art Deco. It's made out of Santa Maria and Maple. I drilled a through hole in order to push the clock movement out when it's time to change the battery or set the time. No need to pry it from...

I'm sure if we all look back, there is someone you can name that made a difference in your life. For me, that would have to be Mike and Suzy Hoch. I was maybe 24 yrs. old when I first met them. I had just moved to Lake Forest Illinois and was trying to promote my first short lived business...

This hollow form vase was turned from end grain maple. It measures 8" tall by 4" wide. It is finished with multiple layers of aniline dye and topped with several coats of spray satin lacquer. I was experimenting with the dyes in an attempt of giving it an iridescent glass like appearance. All...
