Just Delivered

July 20, 2017 By Bob Spangler

These two unique pieces were just delivered from our shop on the same day. The cabinet was made as a custom piece for an entry way by Birgit Josenhans using salvaged Western Maple and she embedded rocks and other “treasures” provided by the client in the top.

The round Cherry and Maple Table was also a custom order piece.  34″ in diameter with 5 sets of “V” legs. The “V” leg idea is from our good friend Art Grice in another table we built for him earlier.

I designed this chair in 1982 and inspired by a Mi I designed this chair in 1982 and inspired by a Ming Dynasty chair. It is still one of my favorite chairs both to build and look at. It seems that every time I make one or a set I tweak this or that in the process. It uses steam bending, now the CNC machine , pattern shaping, hand carving of the handholds and a very tricky glue up.
When asked to make a round 50” dia pedestal table When asked to make a round 50” dia pedestal table — with a fold out “Butterfly” leaf I thought it impossible. But after some thought and several CAD drawings I came up with this version of a pedestal table and it has the fold out self storing leaf. Hitting 6 points in space at the top of the legs to mount the framework that houses the fold out leaf is a challenge.
