Maple Cookie Table & Chairs
This Maple table began its life as large 113 year old maple tree that the power company cut down a few miles my shop. After many hours of hard labor the logs were loaded by hand and taken to the local sawmill for the custom milling. By having these slabs cut horizontally (known as cookies or round slabs) it allows us to see all the growth rings of the tree. After a long and carful drying process the wood was flattened to form a smooth even surface on both sides and then it was sanded to make it silky smooth and to reveal all the beauty that was formed inside this once towering tree. During the drying process a lark check (crack) developed which was filled with a custom steel inlay to add beauty and strength to the table top to insure years of enjoyment. The Maple Cookie table ranges from 32-36" across the top; it stands 30" tall and sits on a steel base powder coated in a satin black finish. The pair of matching maple topped chairs sit on extra sturdy steel frame that are powder coated in black to match the table base perfectly.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
My art is born out of a love for creating unique pieces of furniture from logs I have saved and locally sourced metal. I strive to set the highest standard for beauty, function and durability by using high quality materials and techniques.
I design and create every piece of custom Steel & Grain furniture out of wood that I personally have saved. I am very passionate about using our resources responsibly and one very important part of my process is preserving trees that otherwise would end up as waste. Saving logs is a lengthy process; the drying process alone can take several years. Once the wood is dry and stable I am able to begin combining the natural beauty and texture of the wood with the strong elegant lines of steel to create truly one of a kind piece's of art. I use the natural shape and feel of the wood as inspiration in my design process. I use both classic and modern tools to achieve the highest level of refinement for a piece of functional art that will last generations.
