Dogwood Chair
This walnut dining room chair features a marquetry panel of flowering dogwood on the back splat. The overall form of the chair is based on the work of designer architects Greene and Greene and furnituremakers Peter and John Hall, all of whom operated in southern California in the early twentieth century. Remarkable aspects include the parallelogram, not square, cross-sections of the front legs and back posts; repeated step design in splat, crest, and legs; and the tactile softening of all edges. I typically make chairs in sets of 6 to 12. Arm chair is also available.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I seek to make elegant furniture featuring charming marquetry and time-honored craftsmanship. I design and build for clients to suit their practical needs and aesthetic tastes. I have been a woodworker for over 30 years and a furniture maker for over 20. My training was formal and in traditional design and construction of 18th and 19th century styles. I continue to work in those periods but am also pleased to accommodate more contemporary looks. Please visit my website to see my entire portfolio.
