This end table was made from a dead standing Cedar Burl. The top slab is a cutting from below ground level and has an intricate grain pattern. All edges are the natural living edges.The top has been inlaid with two different kinds of Turquoise that creates a gorgeous contrast with the deep tones of the wood. Table dimensions vary but are approximately a full 4 " thick x 28 " L x 20" W with a height of 21.5 ". The unique spiral base gives the piece a beautiful symmetry. The table base has been mortised into the top and is built to last for generations to come. Over a dozen coats of finish have been applied to give the piece a satin luster that has great depth. A truly one of a kind piece that artistically combines the elements of the Southwest.

Starting out as a set builder on Broadway in New York he began his career in a non-conventional, free thinking sort of way.
Moving into the study of Japanese woodworking, his career primarily focused on bringing the feeling of the natural world indoors which led to many larger projects - mostly the design and fabrication of destination spas throughout the United States.
Enjoying a much quieter lifestyle in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado he has built a workshop and creates within it the things he is most passionate about.
From custom furniture, to musical instruments, to just about anything a client dreams up- each day is something new.
He does still go out on the road for custom projects when there is a good alignment creatively.
Woodworking sculpture is his latest passion….

For Four Directions Cedar Box with turquoise.The cedar box is fantastic. Very beautiful, well built but, even more sturdy than I imagined. The protective aspect of the box was extremely important to me. Like, I said this box more than exceeded my expectations. John kept me well informed as to the progress of the project and delivered the box on time. John was very easy to work with. The personal note from John that came with the box was very thoughtful and touching. Thank you, John.
