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.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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.
