Coffee Table
This was one of my first custom-designed pieces. I wanted to incorporate patterns and colors reminiscent of a Frank Lloyd Wright window panel. I used a variety of hardwoods on the top including walnut, cherry, purpleheart and Brazilian cherry. The legs are made from maple, walnut and oak.

Jon Brammeier
Urban Zebra Designs
I've been making art and music since I was a kid. I've been woodworking for about 15 years. In 2011, I started my woodworking business as Urban Zebra Designs in Keizer, Oregon. In 2013, I completed a two-year mastery program with master woodworker Gary Rogowski in Portland, Oregon.
While I have made traditional furniture, my original designs tend to be modern, eclectic and unusual. I use mostly local materials and quality hardware. Most of my pieces have been larger furniture pieces, but recently I've been making boxes.
In 2014, I retired after 33 years in the computer industry. This allows me to devote much more time to making sawdust.

Aug 2, 2015Just wonderful from start to finish! Jon came to my studio to see what I wanted and where; we discussed the design and he had drawings to me in about a week. We discussed wood choices and design features and then he got to work. He worked with my schedule to arrange a completion date. When the rails for the drawers weren't working right, he bumped back the completion date, but he explained what was happening and handled it professionally. He didn't want to deliver a cabinet that didn't work to his standard or my expectations. He delivered everything today and I'm a very satisfied customer! I recommend Jon without reservation!
