Mesquite

Texas Naturals Series:
This single slab of mesquite came from deep South Texas. Though the sawyer trimmed it to a rectangle, a corner of one side trailed off in bark and sapwood, offering a perfect opportunity for carving. Another piece of wood might suggest a similar approach, but this is one of a kind. There won't be another just like it.

Available custom built. $1650 to $1850

66"l x 16"w x 34" h
Black walnut, curly maple, glass, stainless steel.

Available custom built. $2450 to $2800

Black walnut

Unidentified primary wood, ebonized mahogany, cedar, cast brass hardware.

Nobody consulted to date has been able to identify it.

Cedar burl

Texas Naturals Series:
This burl hung around the studio for several months before telling me what it wanted to become. Rather than imposing a mechanically perfect round form with the lathe, I chose to follow it's natural shape by carving it.

Available $800

11 1/2"w x 15"d x 27 1/2"h
Quartersawn white oak, reclaimed walnut
