Rustic Dining Or Bar Table

$3,200

This is a hand-crafted rustic table made from reclaimed wood and steel The table top is three planks of 2 1/2 inch thick hemlock reclaimed from an old smith's barn in upstate New York. The planks are sanded, smoothed and finished several times to provide a fine organic feel and a rich tone yet preserving the drama of reclaimed wood. Hemlock is an especially beautiful wood, well-grained with a rich amber tone. The legs are wrought-iron hand-made in a traditional coal-fired blacksmith's forge. They are featured with a center twisted bar, brass rivets, and mortise and tenon joinery. This table can be made at dining table height (30 ") or counter-height (37") to serve as a communal bar table A hand-forged latch is supplied at no extra cost if needed to join two tables (see pictures) that will seat 10 people DIMENSIONS: L 60" W 27 " H 37" Bench to match Shipping Rate is an estimate. I will deliver and install the table myself within a 50 mile radius of New York City for a super nominal cost. For shipping to elsewhere in the US I will locate the best price possible, including via uShip which is safer and less expensive than the big carriers

I am a sculptor working in metal and glass. Sometimes singly, sometimes together. I find the simple expression of material to be visually pleasing, and often the stuff I have on hand will nudge my creative process. If the resulting piece awakens my visual sense with wonder, that counts as art for me.

I’ve arrived at sculpting after a heady and enjoyable journey through corporate life. I worked my whole career, twenty-seven years, at JPMorgan and all of that on its trading floors. So making art - and the solitude that accompanies it - are a striking counterpoint to the addictive buzz of life in the markets.

The short story reads like this: as an avid gardener I developed an interest to make large-scale metal art to add to the whimsy in my yard. My son, who was (and is) restoring a classic Alfa Romeo taught me how to weld; I followed this with a semester at the Silvermine School of Art. Many moons, more tools, much practise, the steady acquisition of technique (mostly from other artists and artisans) and I had learned much of what goes into my art now.

I like to use recycled steel whenever possible and I scavenge actively to collect old metal - there’s little more satisfying than cutting up and creating art from, say, an old corn planter.
Patina, texture and light fascinate me and play engaging roles in my sculptures.

My wife (an art photographer among her other talents) and I collect the works of (mainly) American craftspeople - glass makers, ceramicists, wood-workers, textile artists, sculptors - and seek out contemporary art, often at Sculpture parks. So making art is its own reward. Sharing it is even better.
