Live Edge Mesquite Coffee Table
This is a handmade coffee table with a top made up of a pair of book-matched mesquite slabs that have the natural or "live" edges left on much of the top's perimeter. End panels in the base are figured Texas pecan. My approach to using live edge tops is to integrate them into an overall design that shows as much attention to the base as it does the top. Using beautiful material should not be an excuse for ignoring good design as is often the case with much of the live edge furniture being made today.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
For the past thirty years I have been designing and building fine hand-made furniture for both the home and work environment. Today this continues to be my profession and my passion. While I constantly endeavor to expand my design vocabulary and refine my technical skills, it is always within the context of meeting the desires and expectations of the individual client.
In all of my work I seek to wed beautiful materials and high craftsmanship with design that is original and elegant. My furniture is made to order for particular people and quite often for a particular purpose. I listen carefully to my clients and make every effort to make the commissioning process enjoyable and even exciting. My furniture is beautiful, functional, and built to endure.
Custom made furniture is about much more than having something built to the right dimensions or achieving a certain color. It is about great design that may someday have historic significance. It is about achieving a level of craftsmanship that can redefine one's definition of the word "quality". Such furniture is labor intensive to create and costs more, but it is also a sound investment that will give pleasure for a lifetime.
