I was delayed in starting the video series for the Fox Island project, which involves creating an audio cabinet. This project includes three parts. There is a credenza and a record player credenza. It also features a large record storage system. All parts are crafted from walnut. I’ve completed the construction of the first credenza and it’s ready for sanding and finishing. The first video in the series will feature me assembling the record player. I’ll continue to document the rest of the build as I progress.

The Olympia Hall Table is a design I created that perfectly captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest. Its aesthetic evokes a connection to the enchanting Olympic rainforest, which is deeply rooted in my own experiences. Having spent much of my childhood and adult life exploring the lush, mossy forests of western Washington in search of the ideal fishing spot, much of my inspiration derives from the beauty of the landscape around me.
Crafted from spalted maple—wood that is beginning to undergo natural decomposition—the design is intentionally simple, making it a wonderful complement to a rustic timber frame home. It strikes a beautiful balance between rustic charm and refined elegance.
I invite you to visit my site to explore more about this unique piece. Each table is built to order, and there are currently only three in existence. If you’re interested in a lighter color option, be sure to check out the Rainier! Enjoy!

In a world increasingly driven by technology and mass production, the art of handcrafted furniture making stands as a beacon of human creativity and skill. Yet, these talented artisans often don’t receive the recognition they truly deserve. Here’s why it’s essential to revalue handcrafted furniture makers in today’s world:
Preserving Craftsmanship and Tradition
Handcrafted furniture makers are the custodians of timeless techniques and traditions, passed down through generations. By valuing their work, we help preserve these skills, ensuring they continue to enrich our culture and heritage for years to come.
Promoting Sustainability
With growing environmental concerns, handcrafted furniture offers a sustainable alternative to mass-produced items. Artisans typically source materials locally and prioritize quality over quantity, resulting in pieces that are built to last and have a smaller carbon footprint.
Supporting Local Economies
Investing in handcrafted furniture directly supports local artisans and small businesses. This not only sustains their livelihoods but also strengthens local economies and fosters a sense of community.
Celebrating Uniqueness and Quality
Each handcrafted piece is unique, reflecting the individual style and skill of the artisan. Unlike mass-produced items, these pieces provide a level of quality and character that can transform a space and leave a lasting impression.
Encouraging Mindful Consumption
In a world dominated by fast fashion and disposable goods, handcrafted furniture encourages a more mindful approach to consumption. By choosing quality over quantity, consumers can create spaces that are meaningful and enduring.
Fostering a Connection to the Maker
Handcrafted furniture often comes with a story—about the maker, the materials, and the process. This connection adds a personal dimension to each piece, making it more than just a functional object, but a work of art with a narrative.
Conclusion
Revaluing handcrafted furniture makers is about more than just appreciating beautiful furniture; it’s about recognizing the broader impact of their work on culture, sustainability, and community. By supporting these artisans, we contribute to a more sustainable, connected, and enriched world. Let’s celebrate and invest in the remarkable talent and dedication of handcrafted furniture makers, ensuring their vital role in our society is acknowledged and cherished.

I am crafting a bench inspired by George Nakashima. I am using a maple slab that has been in my shop for three years. It patiently waited until it revealed its purpose to me. Embracing Nakashima’s philosophy of natural beauty, I won’t be filling all the voids with epoxy. Instead, I’ll let the wood speak for itself. To finish it, I’ll apply my beeswax and oil blend, enhancing its natural charm. Please sign up and support a local craftsman
In this post, I’ll explain how I create a dado using hand tools. I prefer hand tools for several reasons. The main reason is the tactile experience of feeling the tool cut through the wood. This process is accompanied by the soothing sounds of smooth jazz in my workshop. It feels more creative compared to the loud, intense noise of power tools. The noise can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster ride with a sharp blade spinning at high speeds. It’s ready to catch something or cause an accident.
For this particular project, I used a veneer saw to cut along the edges of my marked dado. Then, I chiseled out the waste and cleaned it up with my Lie-Nielsen hand router. I enjoyed the music of Michael Bublé while working. It’s not that I dislike power tools; they have their place and are sometimes necessary. Nonetheless, if you’re skilled with hand tools, you can be just as efficient. This is especially true if you’re a hobbyist or a one-off furniture maker like me. In those cases, there’s often no need for most power tools beyond a bandsaw, table saw, and thickness planer.
I’m delighted to share something truly special with you—an expression of my passion for uniqueness and quality in design. Unlike transient trends that can often lead us down repetitive paths, I value individuality and the pursuit of something distinctive. My journey has been focused on finding like-minded individuals who understand and appreciate the beauty of diversity and the singular nature of true craftsmanship.
Today, I am excited to introduce you to one of my latest creations: the Iris Table. This exquisite piece is crafted from teak, known for its strength and alluring natural grain. The table features a sophisticated design with a floating top, creating an illusion of weightlessness that captivates the eye.

It is a testament to the dedication and expertise of a skilled artisan who has committed years to perfecting their craft.
The Iris Table is not just a piece of furniture; it is a work of functional art that tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. It stands as a singular creation, emphasizing the rarity and distinctiveness I strive to achieve in my work. This one-of-a-kind piece is perfect for someone who values exclusivity and the expressive power of handmade designs.
