Carved Frame And Panel Blanket Chest
This chest is constructed out of quarter-sawn white oak and lined with aromatic cedar. It was a wedding gift for my brother and wife. The letters carved in the drawer front are their initials and represent the woman's family joining the man's family . The panels are hand carved low relief separate pieces of quarter-sawn white oak. The entire case is then coated with a mixture of pigment, bees wax, and carnauba wax then buffed to a low luster.

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
