Handcrafted Wood Furniture Design
The study of design has been a major pursuit during most of my life. I have a Masters Degree in Architecture from Virginia Tech, a keen interest in the fine arts of painting, photography and sculpture, and have spent many months traveling the world during an intensive exploration of urban design and architecture in Europe and the Mediterranean. All of these inputs, not to mention careful contemplation of furniture of all kinds, have affected my approach to handcrafted wood furniture design, and although I would loosely classify my pieces as contemporary, they are rooted in myriad visual influences. Rather than try to describe the "style" of a handcrafted wood furniture piece, I prefer to let the work speak for itself. By intent, the designs do not conform to any particular period or movement. These handcrafted wood furniture designs are meant to stand on their own as enduring artistic creations. They will be as "current" 100 years from now as they are today.
On Technique: Custom Made Furniture
My custom made furniture pieces are handcrafted using traditional methods as well as some innovative techniques I have developed on my own. Many of my custom wood furniture pieces are often embellished with exotic woods such as ebony, wenge and rosewood inlays. Often, contrasting woods are joined along a curve to help achieve the organic flowing lines that characterize my work.
