Torus Chair
"In geometry, a torus (pl. tori) is, generally speaking, a doughnut-shaped object." Starting as a napkin sketch this chair is one step beyond Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House Barrel chair. The footprint matches perfectly, but the chair has been exploded into a Toroid. The chair has one hundred three, mortise and tenons cut into solid quarter-sawn white oak. The chair is hand-finished with shellac, polyurethane varnish and then rubbed with wax. This particular chair has traveled cross country participating in shows and exhibitions.

I am Wisconsin raised and Massachusetts trained. My work is a mix of classical wooden furniture with modern influences and interpretations, but always focusing on the functionality and beauty of the interaction between person and piece.
"He is a worker of wood, a finisher of fine furniture, a creator of carpentry, a master of maple, a purveyor of pine and an operator of oak!" -Carl Anderson 2010
