CURRENT WORK

The pages of this web site contain a few examples of the work I have done over the last 28 years.   You will find a variety of fine furniture, cabinets, hutches, movie props, doors, beds, and some work that there was just a practical need for.  All in domestic and exotic woods and veneers.   Some I built for my own pleasure and others as custom pieces for my clients.    My shop is in the San Fernando Valley in Southern California.  If you are looking for an addition to your home and are unable to find it at the usual places, send me an email with a description or drawings and lets work together to make it a reality. 
Thanks for visiting.


Beech/Walnut Cabinet
This cabinet was designed by Michel Moshe.  It features interlocking doors that use the tabs as pulls.  The upper drawer has a scalloped face with pulls at each side.  Though small in size (18"W x 18"D x 24"H) it was quite a challenge to make every element fit together.


African Mahogany Audio Cabinet

This mahogany (khaya) cabinet is free standing with the upper shelves for audio and visual components.  The smaller drawers are sectioned for CD's and DVD's. The length of the unit is nearly eight feet.  A flat screen TV is intended to be placed between the upper cabinets.  I used off the shelf plywood and was able to match the grain pattern across the face and sides which pulled the piece together.  Dyed with brown mahogany and finished with WB lacquer.

Display and A/V Components

Display and A/V Component Cabinet I just completed this cabinet last month. I gave the lower cabinet a 21' radius which included the inset cabinet doors. The drawer fronts are angled to follow the radius.  The center section is in white maple. The upper angles in toward the TV, and has recessed puck lighting, glass shelving and doors. I put series lighting in the top center section.  I have to admit that this was a challenging project that I am very pleased with.

Frosted Glass Doors This represents my first try at sandblasting glass.  The design is a sun ray motif that I have used in my sculptures some years ago.  The doors are beech.	Craftsman Style Mantle I wanted a simple and clean statement that would blend with the room and not overwhelm it.  This is a modified Mackintosh design using beech instead of the traditional oak.  The frieze panel is  custom curved plywood and the inlays are cherry, which will darken over time.
