Craftsman Style Accent Table

$295

This is a Craftsman style table, more like rustic-chic, made from a reclaimed barn beam topped by a two inch thick burl of live-edge Maple. The table sits on a plinth of steel formed to echo the natural contours of the top. The understated decorative scrolls at the base are hand-forged steel The beam is five-and-a-half inch square and bears the honest, rich character of reclaimed barn wood - knots, marks, patina, whorls compose a distinctive surface. I have sanded it down, given the beam a flared bevel and finished it with both stain and polyurethane to both preserve its natural beauty while adding elements of style and fineness The top is a solid burl of Hard Maple; its live-edged sides are smoothed to present end-grain perspectives. The natural cracks, knotting and patina on the top have been carefully preserved but also finely finished with a triple coat of indoor/outdoor polyurethane The decorative scrolls and steel base are finished with beeswax and linseed oil to add protection and present a slightly reflective sheen Works brilliantly as an Accent or Art table but also sits very attractively as a Sofa side Table. I can offer this style in a lounge, bar or dining table too DIMENSIONS : H 28"; W 16"; D 16" 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.
