Table With Eight Legs
The gentleman loved his stylish A-frame house in Park City, Utah (Who wouldn't?). He also enjoyed cooking dinners for his friends. His dinning room, however, was too small to support a full time, full size dinning table. The solution: two long, slender tables standing against opposing walls functioning as desk, breakfast nook, or what have you that then marry and lock together for a dinner party of eight. The two parallelogram shaped cases with drawers work nicely to store flatware of desk needs and simply slide out when it is time for dinner. The tables' legs are offset to be out of the way of human and chair legs and the tenons of the outside corner legs are hidden by the inlaid bloodwood triangles.

From the first time my first pocketknife slid through a piece of pine and I experienced the smooth surface, the pungent scent, and the flow of the grain, wood has been a source of sensual interest and pleasure for me. My interest in working with wood waxed and waned for the next few decades: I never thought of myself as needing or wanting to work wood so I never sought instruction beyond the required semester of wood shop in junior high. Those periods, however, when I found myself whittling, or carving or even just looking at or smelling a piece of wood knowledge seemed to accrue naturally through my senses. The present period began about fifteen years ago when I accepted a friend’s challenge to design for a function but refused to allow the function to dictate a form, process and product without the greatest possible sensual interest. Now, I have clients that say they can’t help but touch the work; and since I make sure that even the obscured lines of the piece are interesting, some even lie on the floor to get every possible angle of view.
