Coffee/Living room table. Refurb vintage mahogany base with 1 inch Carrera marble surface. Please contact me (havemanners@gmail.com) if you are interested, and I will make the time to put the finishing touches on it.

Ford Building Salon

2010-07-31T16:47:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pieces I did recently for Kim Namanny's salon in the Ford Building on SE 11th and Division in Portland. Two square mobile supply carts, a table and a coat rack. Materials include stained and unstained birch ply and glass for the top surface of the carts.

Bookshelf

2010-05-28T20:34:00.000-07:00

Walnut stained birch ply with solid poplar trim. I think I might make a few more of these if anyone is interested

Condiment/Trash Cab for The Radio Room

2010-05-28T20:23:00.000-07:00

This cabinet was made for the Radio Room on Alberta. Dyed oak ply, solid oak trim and Paperstone top made from 100% compressed recycled paper and eco-friendly epoxy.
Sorry about the pic- I don't know what is going on with blogger, it's pretty worthless

Platform with matching nightstand

2010-03-11T16:44:00.000-08:00

Bottom is oak dyed black with a clear water based polycrylic finish and top is hickory with the clear poly.

Cannibal Chair restoration

2010-01-27T16:51:00.000-08:00

Supposedly this chair belonged to a professor before my client acquired it. This professor went deep into the amazon jungle to study a cannibal tribe and, I would guess to his surprise, got eaten by them. So needless to say it holds some value on that end, not to mention its a pretty nice piece once I refinished and reupholstered it.

This thing

2010-01-05T17:06:00.001-08:00

Hey Slim, don't forget to close the lid next time. Thanks though to S&P, my best clients as of late...

Outdoor bench

Custom reference monitors built from high end Fountek speaker kit. 6.5" aluminum midwoofer and NeoCD3.0 true ribbon tweeter. Enclosure 3/4" hickory plywood and solid hickory, insulated and ported in the rear.

Keyboard shelf

2009-08-08T16:41:00.000-07:00

This piece was built for a medium sized keyboard/synth with storage under. Recycled walnut, birch with a white stain.

Platform Bed

2008-12-08T11:47:00.000-08:00

I came up with a design that utilizes one 4x8 sheet of plywood, and I get a lot of people wanting platform beds. It dissasembles into 4 main pieces plus the slats so it's also easy to move.

Record/CD/general closet items

2008-06-02T11:04:00.000-07:00

A few pt.2

2008-06-02T10:52:00.001-07:00

A few from a few years back

2008-06-02T10:40:00.000-07:00

About 5 or 6 years actually, but I'm still relatively happy with them...

2007-03-30T19:46:00.000-07:00

This is a somewhat similar shelf/cab/bench/credenza as the last post, this one using "reclaimed" fir from a 110 yr old staircase. The sides are birch ply dyed with Rit clothing dye (which, by the way, is exactly the same stuff as the super expensive aniline wood dyes).

Public Records

2007-03-24T13:41:00.000-07:00

Simple cabinet (box with legs) for record player and records. Teak and melamine.

Show 2006

2006-10-05T13:10:00.000-07:00

'Show 2006 ' went down last night at DWR, and tonight at PNCA for first thursday. Saw alot of OK things. Enjoyed free vodka and black pepper chips. It was crowded and hot.

2006-09-25T14:28:00.000-07:00

Here is a couple shots of the cabinet I did for Masu. I had them taken
off the site because I only wanted
my designs on the portfolio page.
The client took this design out of a
magazine and had me build it for
him using these composite boards
made from strips of birch ply. It
gives a kind of zebrawood effect.

Books/Shelves

2006-08-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

These shelves were designed to match the refurbished Gunlocke bench you can see in the backround. The frame is poplar and the top 2 shelves are walnut. The bottom shelf on the units are composite stone.

claud desk

2006-08-08T14:20:00.000-07:00

A client wanted a desk version of the Claud table. They chose hickory as the wood for the surface and the legs. The rest is finished poplar like the original Claud table.

Towne lounge booths

2006-08-08T14:04:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics of one of the booths that I did for a bar called Towne lounge.

claud tables all over

2006-06-20T02:06:00.000-07:00

The Claud Table will be featured in this years "Show 2006"presented by Fix studio, Design Within Reach and Pacific Northwest College of art on Oct. 4th at DWR and the rest of the month at PNCA. It will also be featured in an upcoming book by the Spanish publishing company Linea Editorial in a book about office furniture. I think they might have been a bit foggy about the actual size of the piece but, whatever. I'll take it.
