Wood and Stone

This cellar was a treat to work on, and it looks great too!


Much of the work was done outside the cellar.  A dry-stack charcoal coloured stone with rust highlights dresses the entry wall.  This is complimented by the new wide-plank white oak flooring.
The African mask has been in the client's family for years.  He requested to have us give it a special place so we obliged with a custom redwood niche.
And of course, the custom redwood door with glass insert invites you inside.


The racks themselves are made with all-heart California redwood.  This cellar combines individual bottle storage along with some case storage.


A beautiful redwood veneer countertop and gable lit by track lighting provides a space to taste and talk...

Primitive Modern

This set of tables began with an experiment.  The challenge was to go out to my shop and select a few scraps.  Take those scraps and assemble them.  The pieces were not even cut.  The table below is the result.


It has to be one of the strangest things I have ever built.


A bird's mouth was let into the longest leg for the top to sit on.  Then a 3/4" dowel was drilled into the throat and lashed back to the leg.


A jaunty angle.


It must be said that this table would not stand heavy use.  It best purpose may be as a display table for a sculpture of some kind.  But I like it quite a bit.  I have never really seen anything quite like it, and I am not just saying that because I built it.

It's so primitive, it's modern!



A low table of the same design.  I had more scraps, and now the primitive table has a friend!
