About: My interest in woodworking started in the late 1990s as a hobby as it provided a nice break from my job as a software engineer.  I enrolled in various woodworking classes.  In particular, two semesters at a community college studying Japanese joinery techniques greatly enhanced my interest in hand tools.  Eventually, I found myself enrolled in the two-year fine woodworking program at North Bennet Street School in Boston.  After that, my wife and I ended up in Ashland Oregon in 2010 where, to my delight, I discovered that Ashland was the home of the wonderful Siskiyou Woodcraft Guild!

Description of piece: The Greene brothers designed houses and furniture in the early 1900’s. Their style is called the Greene & Greene style. This chair is a faithful reproduction of 2 chairs designed by the Greene brothers and built by the Hall brothers around 1908 for the Blacker House in Pasadena, California. They fused the angular and masculine Arts & Crafts style with Art Nouveau and Oriental influences that emphasize natural forms and curves. Primary wood is mahogany with accents made with white oak, purple heart, ebony, and silver. Seat is a hand-tied sprung seat done in the traditional manner.

Cost and shipping:
$5000. For shipping, I will need to build a wooden crate and ship as freight.  This cost will be added once it is figured out. PayPal only.

Description of piece: This table can be described as a modern interpretation of a classic shaker drop leaf table.  I built this table using sipo (or sometimes called utile) mahogany for the top and wenge for the legs, both imported from Africa.  The table is 28” high.  With the leaves up, the top is 32” in diameter.  With both leaves down, the top becomes 16 inches deep.

Cost and shipping: This table is $2500 for local delivery.  Note “local” is somewhat vague and we can determine what that means as necessary.  For shipping, I will need to build a wooden crate and ship as freight.  This cost will be added once it is figured out.   PayPal, cash, or check accepted.  Note that the check will need to clear before delivery.

Visiting the shop: Furniture really needs to be seen up close and touched.  We can plan for you to visit my shop and see the furniture.  However, with Covid-19 concerns, we will need to do so in a way that is safe.  We can discuss how this can be done as necessary.
