Work in process is exciting and there are many aspects till the finished piece. Below is a snapshot of two months following through with 8 chairs and a table.

After designs and meetings with clients it all begins with selecting wood. Here at Goby Walnut in Portland, one of our suppliers.
Finally back at the shop the work will begin.

New Work

Studio Chair

We just finished three new chairs. One led to another and the Studio Chair is the second in the series. It is very comfortable and minimal in nature, all solid wood with a back that reminds one of a music sheet and with a contoured seat.

The third chair was a challenge to make a chair entirely from 1″ x 1″ material. There are five identical pieces that make all the pieces for the chair with the spaces between the seat and back pieces also being 1″ wide.

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.
