This pedestal was made for the Santa Ana Police Department Club House to hold a bust honoring the Widows and Orphans' Fund. The entire piece is made out of maple. The panels are 4-star musical grade, big-leaf figured maple. The figured maple was bought from a fire-fighter, who gave me a an incredible discount on this high-end wood because it was for the police department . I then passed the savings directly to the customer, (A habit I enjoy when the deals come my way) allowing them to received a better quality piece at a lesser cost.

The Barefoot Woodworker
Our furniture maker is the Barefoot Woodworker, a professional woodworker with a minor aversion to shoes. He was fortunate enough to have studied under a Master Artisan who was trained in an apprenticeship in the famous Black Forest in Germany. (Black Forest woodworkers and clock makers were renowned for their precision clocks. Cuckoo clocks have been made in the region since the early eighteenth century and much of their development occurred there. Excessive logging and two World Wars have reduced the population of the Black Forest and its renowned woodworkers to a mere fraction of what once was, making their distinguished skills both scarce and valuable.) Barefoot's education by this truly gifted Artisan has lead to a passion for the superior, and almost forgotten, construction methods of the past. He possesses an affinity for hand tools and traditional joinery that most others in this field no longer know about, let alone use. He has also developed a love and comprehensive knowledge of hidden catches and secret compartments. In an industry bombarded with new machinery designed for shortcuts, he is pursuing the Master Woodworker level via traditional methods.
