California Redwood Table With Arching Trestle Base
Inspired by the rich beauty of the California redwoods and shining sun against the Golden Gate Bridge, this table is designed to be a stand n' sip table for your guests to enjoy over a glass of wine. A remnant piece of redwood was found along the coastal highway and two 12' x 2" slabs were salvaged from the log. These are made-to-order tables and could also include a unique piece of granite nested in the central void area so there is uniform horizontal surface. This makes a statement in a winery, restaurant, or home with modern decor.

Wine Barrel Concepts
I managed to make two dog beds from an empty wine barrel. I found, after an Internet search that this was not a new concept, but I made mine better; my finish was more upscale and consequently partnered with a pet bed company in San Francisco. In short, that was the genesis of Wine Barrel Concepts.
With a little work and creativity, I make a piano into an artistic table. So many people have never seen the inside of a piano and within all pianos vests a beautiful steel frame with elegant wooden pieces and visually intersecting strings. Their geometry is unique and many are discarded after years of use.
Further, I have salvaged materials from St. Mary's Cathedral and The War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. And from these salvaged items I have made many more interesting and creative pieces.
There is a great sense of creativity from what I do and often enjoy new ideas and projects. There is something to be said about making something by hand from an object others see everyday.
