This chair was built for a good friend of mine. He in turn built my website. It's out of 100+ year old sycamore beams from barn on my Grandfather's farm in KS. I absolutely love the color contrast in the wood. I've tried to come up with an all wood tray latch system but so far the closest I...

My first Coffee table is based, or at least inspired, again by a Sam Maloof sketch I saw in a book about his work. I believe the sketch was for a round dinning table but I thought it would be a neat oval coffee table. The base reminds me of a Sci-fi, or Star Wars, space ship landing gear. It...

This may be my favorite piece so far. It took a lot time just keeping all the board, for the top, matched up. Every time I'd have to cut, joint or sand something id spend 20 min or more getting them back in the correct order. I think it was worth it for the consistency. Please contact me if you...

This is my try at Sam Maloof's "Evans" Chair. I really like this chair; it is by far my favorite to set in. It fits my behind very well; I guess that makes sense considering it's the same behind I used to test the chair while shaping it. dayton www.daytonwooddesign.com
