Spline Miter Bench
45 × 10.5 × 17 — Fir, Jatoba
These versatile benches can be used around the table, in the hallway for shoe removal, as a narrow coffee table or at the foot of the bed. Their deceptive strength is due to the splined miter joinery: 10 triangles of wood imbedded with structural epoxy into each corner of the wood joint. The simple design is a showcase for unique boards. This item may also be available with a natural edge for select wood types. These benches can easily seat three people.

Once a Tree
42 x 18 x 18 — Walnut
“After holding onto this four foot long walnut log for years, I finally figured how to use this odd piece of highly figured wood. Okay, it was a little scary of a cut. The top was a book-match. The inside of the log was sawn and later carved to a texture as if a beaver had cleaned it out for me. The wood from inside was fashioned into the cradle that holds the bench. A small donut shaped rock, found on the seashore, holds the door open and directs the cord into the box when the lid closed. Box, bench and sculpture in one.”

Wabi-Sabi Bench
48 x 13 x 24 — Madrone
''Beauty can be coaxed out of ugliness'', ''All things are imperfect'', ''Truth comes from the observation of nature'' Madrona, a wood notoriously difficult to dry, has a mind of it's own. Here, I work around this expression of internal tension and reveal the beauty within the beast.
