Influential Dog

As a follow up to yesterday's post, here's a photo of one of the dogs who influenced the design of the console table. Although a side view might have given a better idea of the dog/ table shape relationship, this is what I have.

Slacker

Wow! Clearly making Blog entries is not my strongest attribute. In the 2 1/2 months since I last wrote, I've been busy. Just before Christmas, I completed a commission for some clients in Crested Butte. Here's a photo of the Console Table I made for them.

This piece is made of Curly Sugar Maple from a great board I cut into veneer, and it has Ebonized Sugar Maple legs. I think the design was subconsciously influenced by the client's dogs. More on that later.

I've also been working on a commission for another client. It's a pair of Dining Tables which can be used independently, or pushed together to make one large table. Here are some digital renderings of the pieces.

The tables are made of concrete, stainless steel and wenge. Each piece will weigh about 450 lbs., so pushing them together may not be that easy! They should be complete by the end of next week, so check back for photos.

Also in the works right now is companion end table that will be across the room from the console table pictured above, as well as a couple of speculative pieces for shows and galleries.

As always, thanks for your interest.
