One Man's Cave Table
The gentleman wanted a large, bar height table at which to hone his chess game and tie flies; the apron has two handy drawers for chess pieces or fly tying materials. To get the table down the narrow flight of stairs to his "man cave" the table's leg assembly is dismantled 15 1/2" off the floor, at the stretcher level. This not only makes moving the table easier but also results in a dining height table. The table's top is easily removed, also to facilitate moving the table; and, in case one wants to serve Japanese style, the top can be set on the removable part of the leg assembly.

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.
