Urban-chic American Beech Dining Table This Dining table was designed specifically for an apartment in the East Village, Manhattan - it provides an urban-chic function and style, while occupying a compact footprint. Striking and original to look at, the table showcases fine, honest materials in an airy, almost minimalist construction The table top is a high-character slab of live-edged American Beech. It has exceptionally interesting sapwood borders, gorgeous graining heightened by color-tone variations, valleys and internal sculptures. it is finished with 3x sanding (taking the utmost care to retain its natural profile and features) and 3x applications of wood oil. The base is hand-bent steel with clean, fine lines finished in an oil-rubbed bronze Although just 24" wide x 52" long it is a comfortable 4-seater and - at a stretch - an intimate 6-seater. I build my tables with unique wood slabs. Although the top for your table will closely resemble the one in these images it will, by definition, not be the identical piece. How I work is to show your several slabs of equally high-character wood to choose from. The price of the table will be somewhat variable with your choice of wood and with the dimensions you require, especially its width Delivery: I will deliver the table myself within a 50 mile radius of Manhattan (for a nominal cost). Otherwise your table will go to you via uShip - I will locate the best method and price when you tell me where you are.

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.
