Dining Room Table and Bench
I am so grateful to have a customer, rather a patron, that is so trusting in my craft and design that he and his wife give me free range to create furniture for them. This last build was a bit tricky. I stayed true to using salvaged material, in this case a variety of soft woods, where I pushed the limit of their own structural strength. I had great intentions with my initial design but they were subdued by the physical attributes of the wood, the wood had intentions of it's own. In order to complete this build I had many conversations with the table; "where is the stress," "do you think this fits you well," "how will you set yourself apart from the others" (my doctor says it's perfectly healthy)? After spending countless hours of work, well past the hours that my day jobs timecard was clocked out, we came to an agreement. Before you is a photo of my last project, a kitchen table with it's matching bench. It's really a great feeling to create something that will be appreciated and utilized all throughout the day, shared at holidays, and last for years to come. Thank you to those of you who love my work as much as I love making it.
