Swan Coffee Table Base Carved From Wood
Here is the swan coffee table base that I sculpted from solid poplar wood for a customer in New York. It is approximately 27 inches by 31 inches by 17 inches. As you can see from the photos assembled using mortice and tenon joints wherever possible and the two halves are joined with wood butterflies 3/8ths of an inch deep so that the body will never split apart.

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.
