Twisted Dendritic Coffee Table
This is a coffee table in the French Art Nouveau style of my own design that I made during the summer of 2012, it is black walnut with wenge top perimeter border and curled Bastogne walnut top. it is approximately 44 inches long x 23 inches deep and 17 inches high. All joints are mortice and tenon joints. This is my own design very complex to construct.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
Working alone, I state working alone because nearly everything that I design and make are works of art made by me alone and signed by me for 20+ years, Ralph produces furnishings and signs rebelling against "mechanical mediocrity" refusing to work within the limitations imposed by machines and produce objets d'art which can only be accomplished with many hours/days/weeks/months of hand tooling.
To summarize, I am an artisan, not merely a furniture maker. Thank you for your interest in my fascination.

For Karate God Busaganashi4.8I am extremely pleased with my Busaganashi. Working with Ralph was a pleasure and I would certainly work with him again on other projects and give him a strong recommendation for anyone looking for quality work.

For Wooden Cane4.7I only had a vague idea of what I wanted and Ralph took what information I did provide and turned it into a beautiful work of art!

For I owe you an apology4.8Ralph is a true artist. He will go above and beyond what you expect to make the project you really want. For him, quality is best and he will not cut on details.
I will definitely work again with him (I'm actually working with him on a project of 52 chess pieces), and am glad to have him to make this project come to reality.
The value you will get is extraordinary, as well as the professionalism and expertise you will benefit from when working with him. Timeliness and shipping also are on point.
Communication is essential and Ralph will keep you informed. Even when we had a small miscommunication (which wasted some of Ralph's time), he fixed the detail (even if he didn't need to) to give me an amazing piece!
I cannot give 6 stars (unfortunately, even though he deserves them) so I'll have to settle by giving Ralph 5 stars.

For Carved Swagger Stick4.8Ralph was very diligent during the whole process, he explained everything to me including why he chose the wood he did and the type font. It was nice to have the information when presenting this gift. Ralph was professional, friendly, communicative and extraordinarily talented.

For Nicholas' 3 tier snow owl statue with memorial plaqe4.5It was a long and involved relationship working a vision into creation, Ralph was patient and thorough. We started with a blurry memory of a dream and created beauty and meaning. Thank you so much.
