Large Burl-Top Studio Coffee Table

$295

Designed specifically to provide function and style to a studio or apartment, this table has a compact footprint but adds a striking and original look. The top is an exquisite Cherry wood burl - striking internal sculpture with gorgeous graining, knots, whorls and valleys in deep earthy amber - finished with a quadruple coat of fine polyurethane. Its exuberant live edge is heightened by being left natural. The burl is sanded to an organic smoothness - beautiful to look at and caressing to touch - while retaining its essentially wild character. The base is a set of hairpin legs made from structural steel, standing on steel plate finished here in oil-rubbed bronze (but colored to your choice). The combination makes an industrial-chic table but is really functional art Please note that burls are unique - when you purchase (or order) your table I will show you a selection of burls to choose from. They will all be high-character pieces of wood but will vary in form, wood-type, color tone, sculpture and the wildness of their natural shape. These tables come in two sizes - burl-tops of 20-24 inches (shown here) and burl-tops of 15-18 inches (see separate listing). DIMENSIONS: H 16 x L 21 x W 22

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.
