This was my first out of blue commissioned project. I went through the whole process from milling black walnut slabs to installing the table in Boston for good friends. One of the more unique challenges of this table was the custom carved epoxy inset. Lots of research, lots of fun. Cant wait to try this technique again. Talented blacksmith Tim Beachly constructed the base (click image for contact). Contact me with any questions or to inquire about commissions.
These black walnut frames were built to be integrated into a large wall of historic shelving in the John Henry Museum. It was a challenge because the shelving could not be altered in anyway and measurements had to be exact

I designed and built this shower with woodwork guru Dennis Martin for my mom's farm in WV
Found some beat up high back pine benches and carved in some Irish crosses. After sanding down a bad glue up and poly job I used tinted boiled linseed oil to give it a well aged look and sealed it up for outdoor use.
The base is hammered and shaped forged steel made by renowned western MD metalsmith Tim Beachley. Tim used a rarely seen key-joint technique to attach the lower shelf along with attractive open twists on each legs. A patina was added to enhance color and rust protection.
