This coffee table would look good in your mid-century living room. It features three drawers and is made of vacuum formed plywood with quarter-sawn cherry veneer over. The top and legs are sapele, the drawer's secondary woods are ash and jatoba. The curved pieces under the glass are bent lamination ash. Also, a small piece of fused glass on the top of the round leg adds a splash of color.

This is where something clever is written to explain the woodworker’s mission and motivation.
Well, I make furniture. I hope that people will like it and find it comfortable. It’s important to me that furniture be engaging yet practical, artistic yet useful.
My work has been described as ‘a new take on Modernism blending the beauty of wood with a simple geometric grace.’ I find my design elements in many places. I have a few styles that I prefer, as well as things I see in nature. I have also found that combining contrasting species of wood accentuates the wood as well as the design. Living in Oregon, we have some great local wood species. From walnut to douglas fir, white oak and western maple, there’s a multitude of design possibilities. For me, building custom furniture is an adventure.
This is a second career for me. Previously, I edited video programs; they would rarely last a year- sometimes only one day. My goal is to build furniture that will last a good bit longer, more of a legacy, if you will.
So here is what I’ve made, on display. My backlog is now about one year, so if you have any interest, please contact me for more info and updates. I consider these pieces starting points, if there’s something here that you like, please don't hesitate to contact me.

For Danish Cord Stooldesigning a Danish Cord Stool out of mahogany and walnut with jeff was easy, pleasant and inspirational. jeff was responsive, intelligent, creative and patient. he came up with a beautiful design, listened to my needs and aesthetics, and responded appropriately. he was fair with pricing, and on time with delivery. he even worked with me to make the shipping as economical as possible. he takes pride in his woodworking ability and creativity, and explains well to the layman, making me understand the beauty and simplicity of using a single board for the stool. i was delighted with the stools which he crated carefully and shipped from oregon to naples, florida. my friend is now going to order the same pieces from him for the fall. thanks, jeff!

For Quilted Maple And Walnut Entry TableJeff made a maple and walnut entry table that, quite frankly, was even more beautiful in reality than the photo example. He is great to deal with and his work is flawless!

For Shoe BenchWorking with Jeff was a fantastic experience from the initial planning stages, to the delivery of the finished piece. I wanted to have Jeff build me a shoe bench that drew from Japanese design with a bit of Greene and Greene, but still feel simple and contemporary. Jeff was very collaborative working out the design in Sketch Up, solving design problems and making suggestions for wood choices and detail ideas. Once we had the finished design Jeff was kind enough to let me go with him to pick out some of the wood. One of the reasons I enjoyed working with Jeff so much was his patience and willingness to share his process. Once we had our wood Jeff sent photos as the piece took shape and even had me come by to settle final details for the inset walnut pulls which help give the piece so much character. I couldn't be happier with the bench and I'd love to work with Jeff again, he's a true artist.

For crab pot tableJeff did a great job on the crab pot coffee table. From the initial discussion to the final delivered project. His attention to detail and his professionalism is second to none. I recommend him heartily and will be using him again for my next project.
