Publications Wood Selection
      During the design of a new piece, much of my attention is focused on the wood selection. It is a critical step in designing fine furniture. There are many considerations when selecting wood for a new piece: color, grain pattern, strength, and flexibility are characteristics, which all affect design and construction.

      For as many years as I’ve been making furniture, I personally build each piece from start to finish. Every one is signed, dated and registered. I look forward to the opportunity to create new pieces and share new designs with you in the future.
These are some types of wood that enhance the beauty of furniture.
This is only a sample of the wood that I have used in my designs.
