The Fold series is a sculptural investigation of wood as paper/ paper as wood. A single slab is segmented then rejoined with meticulously hand-cut through dovetail joinery creating a bold graphic gesture.

The Bandwidth Series combines complimentary solid hardwoods that play on color, texture and visual rhythms. Pieces are available in various combinations of wood from solid oak and ash, walnut and purple heart, to spalted maple and zebrawood.

The Flitch series focuses on various furniture forms using the natural edges of the original tree in combination with a variety of integrated, clean-lined bases.

Conceived of as a complimentary family of furniture consisting of a dining table, matching stools/benches and dining chairs, often retaining the natural edge of the local walnut from which it is made from.

A collection of spalted maple pieces from the same tree. The beauty of the graphic qualities created by the diseased lumber becomes the inspiration for each form.

A collection of bed forms from headboards with embedded night stands to low-profile platform beds using various hardwoods.

Matching sideboard, armoire, and end tables created from the same brilliant-colored cherry tree.

The Eve Series is a playful take on traditional furniture forms from a low profile loveseat to sleek rocker. Borrowing from the Danish masters with additional mod lines and hand-carved back supports all made from salvaged elm.

Pamsula in Sanskrit means: "Sullied", "Dusty", "Defiled", "Discarded", "Disgraced", "Unwanted." Used in Buddhism: To take something dirty, broken or unwanted and transform it into something useful or beautiful. This series incorporates accumulated piles of cut-off scraps from years of projects.
