Gathering Place

10 ft × 42 inWalnutSculpted steel base

A large custom walnut table built for hospitality. Ten feet of walnut sit on a single sculpted steel base, set well inside the ends so every seat is free of legs.

Study Hall

Live-edge walnutCantileveredCable-braced

A live-edge walnut desk designed for family use, with matching shelves above. It cantilevers from the wall, so nothing takes up floor space.

Engineering A desk this long, held only at the wall, wants to flex at its front edge. Slim cables tie that edge back to the wall, so the top stays solid when you write or lean on it, and the floor underneath stays clear.

Seamless Display

WalnutHidden mounting

Minimalist walnut shelves designed to warm a space.

Engineering There are no brackets to see. Steel rods are drilled into the wall studs and hidden inside each shelf, so the weight goes into the framing of the house, not the drywall.

Hidden knife shelf

KitchenHidden storage

A slim panel under the kitchen cabinets. Pulled down, it holds the knives within reach; pushed up, they are out of sight and off the counter.

Engineering Magnets hold the panel up against the cabinet, so it stays shut until you pull it down.

Open-frame shelf

FloatingOpen frame

A floating shelf built as an open frame: the uprights and shelves form one light grid on the wall.

Client visions, designed and built to fit: paired walnut slabs, river tables and matching benches, each on a steel base matched to the piece.

Serving Time

End-grain boardsCharcuterie boardsBowls

Serving pieces and thoughtful gifts, made from the same hardwoods as the furniture: end-grain boards, charcuterie boards, bowls and candle holders.

Engineering These are end-grain boards: the wood fibers point straight up, so your knife slides between them instead of cutting across them. That’s easier on your knives, and the surface hides everyday cut marks.
