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.

Cannibal Chair restoration






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.

Platform Bed




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





A few pt.2



A few from a few years back





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

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).

Show 2006



'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.

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.
