Creating the finest exotic hardwood furniture designs for you!
The Art of Hardwood Furniture Designed
Using something so naturally beautiful as exotic hardwoods for my
medium, I create three dimensional art designs. I do this not only for
the love of building sculpture furniture but I enjoy bringing pleasure
to people’s lives, to put a smile on their face. I don't believe there is
anything more inviting, and warm, then a beautiful piece of exotic
hardwood art furniture finished in its natural color. I use a large
variety of woods, for their color and texture, and combine them with
carving and inlay. I want every piece to be striking at first view But
also to have the highest quality of detail for close examination. My
objective is to have a quality of design so as to draw one's attention
away from the cares, burdens and heart aches of life, at least for a
time, and to give them something beautiful, something pleasant to
talk about, think, and dream about.
I have developed my skills and techniques over the past 30 years and
have brought them to bear in this Internet gallery of hardwood
sculpture furniture. All the designs are original, and most of my
pieces are one of a kind.
Selecting the wood & Inlay
Once the design has been completed, selecting the wood is of utmost
importance. The surface must be checked for defects, and the
moisture content verified. Improper drying causes shrinkage and
warping. Choosing hardwood is different for every piece. There can
be a variety of grain, color, texture, and figure, selected in a single
type of wood or multiple types of wood for each piece of furniture.
This will depend on the design and the feeling that I’m wanting to
express in the piece, for the overall appearance and for the closer
more in-depth examination.
