St. Mary's Ambry
This ambry--a cabinet used to store ceremonial oils in a church--was made for St. Mary's Catholic Church in Corvallis, OR for the occasion of their 150th anniversary, part of a suite of liturgical furnishings including an ambo (pulpit), music podium, presider's and deacon's chairs, and time capsule. The angled sides of this oils cabinet reflect the hexagonal plan of the church, and the patterns in the "New German Antique" glass are reminiscent of those made as water falls into the nearby baptismal font.

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.
