Accent Table
Custom, mid-century modern table, intended to sit between two chairs. Design based on Scandanavian Designs Tibro Table with much sturdier construction attributes. The three legs are hand carved and come together with unique joinery. The customer wanted two wood species that ended up being zebra wood for the top and shelf and soft maple darkened with espresso water-based stain. Top and shelf finished with multiple coats of Minwax wipe-on polyurethane and wax. This table was part of a three table ensemble where zebra wood was used on the drawer fronts of two end tables with black hairpin legs. Dimensions: 24" diameter top, 18" diameter shelf, 22"H.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I have been designing and building furniture for over 40 years. With retirement, came an opportunity to attend woodworking classes, providing an appreciation for the use of machine tools, hand tool skills and learning from instructors who are the best in their given areas of expertise. Bench Dog Woodworks became a reality.
Favorite pieces in the last couple of years have spanned many styles from the Arts and Crafts period (the designs of Stickley, Limbert, Greene & Greene) to Shaker, mid-century modern, live edge and the use of reclaimed wood. As I learn more about 17th and 18th century woodworking techniques, carving, veneer and inlay are finding their way into my work.
Customization is a specialty. Provide an idea in the form of a photo or a rough sketch and I will work with you to refine the design and turn it into a functional piece.
Traditional joinery techniques (such as mortise and tenon and dovetails) are employed resulting in a more lasting, quality piece. The extra labor involved is often reflected in my pricing.
If you buy something and are not satisfied with the result, I will work with you to make adjustments.
If you need an item by a specific date or for a specific event, please let me know prior to accepting a proposal.

For Library Browsing Stool5.0My wife and I are very pleased with the oak mission foot stool that Stan made for us. Our project was a little unique; we needed a base to support an antique library card catalog. Stan requested photos and created a drawing of the finished product. His attention to detail resulted in a perfect match in stain color and a piece that complemented the card catalog. We will enjoy it for many years to come.
