If you’re in the Lake Placid, N.Y. area this fundraiser is being held tonight, October 13th. It’s for a great cause and will have furniture available for auction from over 50 New England furniture makers.

This new side table design incorporates a solid glass table top, sculpted walnut and curly maple base with a curly maple finial. I wanted to show off the flower like appearance of the base with the use of glass versus wood. I think the result is stunning.

The challenge with this design was finding an invisible way to attach the glass to the wood base. Through trial and error I finally found a super strong, crystal clear silicone based product that works perfectly.

Thanks to the Maine Crafts Association and all the nice folks who stopped by the booth!

This was a custom job for a client out in California. The entire table is finished in Danish Oil.  For the top/shelf I used a gel urethane topcoat for added durability.

This curly maple king size bed has easy to assemble, interlocking hardware. It’s finished with tinted danish oil, gel stain and has a gel urethane topcoat. The finish really brings out the grain detail, is durable and extremely soft to the touch.
