St. Mary's Ambo
This ambo, a podium from which scripture is read, was a design-only project for a St. Mary's Catholic Church in Corvallis OR. The shape reflects the roughly hexagonal floor plan of this 1960s church, and the gently flaring baptismal font at the entrance to the worship space. The spacious top and shelves accommodate the large format books used, and a pull-out step helps shorter readers.

Update 2019: Unfortunately my wife is fighting lung cancer and I am not currently accepting furniture commissions.
Design that fits you to a "T", sensitive use of lovely wood, techniques that stand the test of time, touchable surfaces and layers of detail--I strive to bring these together with your needs and wishes, wrapping it all in an enjoyable process and a trail of photos.
