This cabinet was designed around the Golden Mean, an early school project as practise in hand tools. The criteria was dovetails and tenons, all cut by hand. This piece fastens to the wall with a french cleat. I epoxied rare earth magnets into the cleat and veneered over them so most hand tools...

Our powder room had no medicine cabinet, and we needed something to keep things out of the reach of the kids, so I made this simple medicine cabinet. It's red oak with birds eye maple door panels. there are through tenons on the top and bottom. Two doors with mortise and tenon joints, the...

This is a commissioned piece of art in Wood Marquetry, created with my Marquetry partner, Spider Johnson in Mason, Texas. The bottom half is done in the traditional method. The top portion is done with a process called "Fusion", and was inspired by a piece I saw here by Patrice LeJeune. In this...

This is a jewelry box for my wife Sherri which features sand shaded marquetry cut in the classic style. The motif was taken from the ASFM workbook and interestingly was a study piece that Patrick Edwards cut while he was in Ecoulle Boulle in Paris and is still hanging on the wall at ASFM. The...

Although my second project on here, this was my first woodwork project that really got me hooked. A christmas present for my girlfriend last year. I had no experience whatsoever other than my metalwork bachground, as you can probably tell from custom made hardware and the bolted on hinges...

these babies are over 40 years old. As i started them i got so enthused that i bought four more, some in 18×24in size. These are, to be honest kits, with templates to outlline the design on the veneers, which are then cut out with razor knives and inlayed together. Sort of like paint by number...

I offered to build a ten foot dinning room table as a house warming present for my brother in law. We used a technique which cut down on the weight considerably. This technique consisted of using a resin coated honeycomb cardboard, which was one inch tall, for the center core of the table. This...

I had a stash of claro walnut that I had always wanted to do something with, and with Christmas nearly around the corner, I thought of cranking out a few small marquetry boxes. These are 2 of the 4 that I made with the same flower design - the other 2 have a quilted maple background instead of...

I recently had a nice contract to do some parquetry work that was installed in 8 thresholds. There were some tricks involved in doing this kind of work. I wrote about the project on my Furniture Blog if you're interested in learning about it.

Inspiration for this project came from Matt Nedeljko's beautiful Bouquet of Flowers Marquetry Box that he made for his wife, Sherri. See Matt's writeup for more on the origin of this design. Since I did not have the original pattern, I used one of Matt's photos of his project, along with Adobe...

We often do kitchens. Sometimes they are very challenging. Sometimes they are easy. This was an easy one, except the client, (wife), didn't know what she wanted. Compounding the problem, both the husband and wife are Greek, and weren't comfortable with their english. My wife is Greek also, so I...

A neighbor saw me getting into wood clock making and asked if i could design her a clock for her grandson's room. PS. He LOVES dinosaurs. The above item is the result. I had originally attempted to use marquetry techniques, but the lacewood veneer I attempted to make the body out of was too...
