I have put some new work up for sale on my Etsy site, including the console table pictured “Up a Creek Redux “. This table was originally designed for and sold exclusively through Guild.com’s Artful home catalog but since I am no longer selling through the Artful home I am now offering it on my own. I have also once again dropped prices from 75$ to 200$ on other pieces so please take advantage of the spring sale.
Schiffer Publishing has included images of my work in another of their fine books ,to come out in the next few weeks, “Wood Art Today 2″ a survey of current trends in woodworking. Last year they included me in their book Studio Furniture Today’s Leading Woodworkers.Here is a link to Schiffer Publishing
I belong to a loose collective of woodworkers called “White Cross Woodworkers”(WCW) that has shared shop space for the last ten years . Together we work in a10,000 sq/ft building and collectively own most of the large machinery while each of us maintains there own bench space. This past fall we made the decision to showcase all of our talents by creating a gallery ,open to the public, in the shop and now after month’s of toil The Gallery at WCW is open. If you are in the Chapel Hill North Carolina area please stop by at 3315 NC 54 West and view the many talents that WCW represents.
