Here we will try to keep you up to date on what is happening in our studio. We will let you know of shows, sales or other interesting events. Be sure to check back often.
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.
The Studio Tour is on and opening tomorrow, Friday 30th through Sunday 2nd, 10:00am-5:00pm each day. We have a great group of artists in our studio this weekend, Susan Arens, Brian Goodman, Leslie Newman, Linda Ricci, Tim Celeski and Birgit Josenhans. Furniture, sculpture, encaustic, porcelain pottery, and limited edition abstracts are all here. Stop by for a look, stroll with a coffee and a treat. We look forward to see you.
I will be showing two new chair designs for the first time as well.
We just delivered this Soglio Table and 8 Soho chairs in Claro and Eastern Walnut. The table is 42″w x 84″L in the closed position with a self storing leaf that expands to 107″.
We have decided to do the Bainbridge Island Studio Tour again this year and will host 5 other artists in our studio as well. We will provide more information as the date approaches the first weekend of December.
The figure and color of this Oregon Walnut is extraordinary. We have just finished this Butterfly Table and will deliver this week. This table has a “Butterfly” flip out self storing leaf and measures 42″w x 78″ L with a 19″ wide leaf.
We just finished these 6 individual Tansu that stack together to form a whole. All of these fit into a 400sf space beneath a sloping ceiling. Complete with through mortices with even a writing desk at the end.
It is becoming year end and we are preparing for the next year. We have some pieces that have been in galleries or multiple items and we want to offer them at special prices to make room for new work. These pieces are all perfect but have come home from the gallery or chairs that are part of a set that, for example, the side chairs sold but not the arm chairs. For the remainder of the year we will offer different pieces at different times.
Two Biloba Chairs are on sale. They are solid Walnut wood and measure 25″w x 31″ht x 22″d. The seats are Scottish leather. These two chairs are orphans in that the side chairs sold as a set in the gallery and these had no home. We are now offering the pair at a 40% discount, $1830 for both of them.

For the remainder of October and into November The Rolling Bay Dresser will be on sale. It is Cherry wood with Wenge pulls and measures 49″w x 36″ht x 22″d. The drawers are mounted on under-mount self closing drawer glides. The Rolling Bay Dresser will be priced during this time at $3250 (plus any shipping), This is more than a 20% discount.
We are currently just finishing up 6 Soho chairs in cherry and an Argus dining table also in cherry.
The Argus table has a “Butterfly” flip out self storing leaf. This is actually an old detail but is very handy and fun to open.
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.
The shop is full now with a new Soglio Table. It has a Walnut base with a Mahogany top and the center self storing leaf is highly figured Walnut. There are also two additional leaves for a total length of 10′-2″. You can visit the portfolio page to see images of other Soglio tables.
The reception desk for BARN (Bainbridge Artisans Resource Network) designed and built in our shop using Elm wood salvaged from Bloedel Reserve and metal from the exterior of the new facility on Bainbridge Island. BARN is a 26000 sf building that houses studios for 11 different artisans groups offering open studio times for members of BARN and classes in the various disciplines.
