Function:

I am a visual artist and woodworker creating functional and character filled furniture and accessories using the many techniques I have accumulated over the years. I received my BFA in 1998 and have since done fine art, finish carpentry, cabinet installation, and faux finishing. I have been doing original furniture design and custom woodwork since 2010.
My goal and purpose is to combine these elements and skills to make functional beautiful furniture that is inviting as well as aesthetically pleasing.

Handmade Dovetail Benches

   I have been building this design for about 7 years in a variety of wood types. It is a nice craftsman style detail, but it also provides an extremely sturdy joint. The joints are mostly cut by hand using the japan pull saw and a mallet and chisel. I would guess I have built 40-50 of these, I've got my technique down and have built a variety of sizes. The most common one has been the reclaimed fir, seemed to fit right in with Portland's mindset if reduce/reuse/recycle. Our local wood resources also offer Western Walnut, Myrtle, Madrone, White Oak, Maple, Cedar and more.

I have these available in various sizes, and the bases are pretty interchangable, so a coffee height table could easily get turned into a desk.
