This piece, though influenced by the Arts and Crafts style is one of a kind. Mortise and tenon joinery along with full depth exposed double dovetails on the back rail make for both a strong but elegant design. The termination of the arms serve as pleasant and functional handles with which to fidget as well as help yourself up. Del Cerro Textiles of Cimarron, Colorado uniquely created the seat cushion and the pillow designs for this settee. The fibers used in the creation of these textiles are certified organic, raised at the Howell Ranch in the Rocky Mountains under restorative land management practices. They include organic Icelandic wool and mohair blend. Finish: Hand rubbed Linseed Oil, polyurethane and wax. Honduran and African mahogany.

Each piece of custom handcrafted furniture that I create is functional fine art made with the intent to last many lifetimes. Even after 30 years in woodworking, it is always challenging, with no end to the styles, shapes, designs and combinations of materials. In a disposable society like ours it is refreshing to make heirloom pieces of furniture with soul.

For PedestalI am thrilled with my custom pedestal created by Dan Rieple. I searched 6 months for a pedestal for a sculpture I recently acquired and could find absolutely nothing worthy of the sculpture. Until I found Dan. Now I have two works of art!
