This chest has a live edge, mitered black walnut top over a claro walnut case. The inspiration for this piece comes from Biedermeir style as well as George Nakashima. The line of the top dictates trhe serpentine line of the front. The drawers are veneered with book matched, figured claro walnut, and they slide on under mount, touch opening slides. The sides and legs are solid claro, with the sides also book matched. This piece would work well as a dining room sideboard, an entry cabinet, or as a way to house and display collectibles.

My goal in woodworking is to build utilitarian objects that also fascinate the eye. I build heirloom pieces of figured lumber. Hopefully, these pieces will enliven interior spaces for generations. I enjoy the challenge of designing a piece to fit a specific need, but I am also comfortable working with designs by architects and other designers.

For Live Edge ChestWe are extremely happy with our new live edge chest. The project went very smoothly, and we enjoyed working with Pierce. Preliminary discussion of the materials and the expected time frame was easily completed without confusion. Communication during the process was excellent. Packed well and arriving a few days following completion, the stunning final product is a perfect size with beautiful lines. We would love to work with Pierce on a future project.

For pulpit and communion tablePierce Getsinger at Oxford Woodworks is an outstanding craftsman. He was very patient with us as we went back and forth to custom design our pulpit to accommodate both function and aesthetics. We are very pleased with the results! Great pieces of furniture at a fair price. Win-win!
