Design and Fabrication

How a straight 4x4 becomes a whimsical, Dr. Seuss-inspired coat rack using a band saw inside-out cutting technique, plus a hand-cut castle joint base.

A walnut wall-mounted TV cabinet built with floating tenons, wenge accent shelves, and a hidden French cleat, from grain selection to final assembly.

A client wanted a shelf that doubled as art — somewhere to display their gaming and cosplay collection. Here's how I built a custom piece around a segmented ring with intersecting shelves of varying heights and widths.

building a sculptural two-moon coat rack, from grain-matched bandsaw cuts and CNC joinery fixtures to hand-shaped hooks and a hidden wall-mount system.

How building the same design element across multiple pieces is helping me find my style as a custom furniture maker, plus a full build breakdown of this hall table.

A client needed a place to display his grandfather's shaving kit and a few other collectibles. Here's how I designed and built the floating shelves to hold them.

How I built a white oak mid-century modern nightstand with a waterfall grain case, two-tone finish, and built-in charging outlet.  Plus the joinery and finishing decisions I made along the way, all for a client in Colorado Springs who wanted a custom nightstand.

See how I built a custom steel and walnut bookshelf for a Denver client — from cutting and welding the steel frame to gluing up and finishing every walnut shelf.

I built a custom desk from cherry and accented with walnut and copper. I show the whole processes from picking the live edge slab to cutting joinery, adding a copper and walnut grid, and finishing it off with hand-routed drawer pulls.

I recently completed an asymmetrical shelf unit for a client, and let me tell you, it was one of those projects that looks simple on the surface but requires serious attention to detail from start to finish.

Today's project is more than just building a pendant lamp. I really believe that to continue growing as an artist, you have to always be experimenting, trying new techniques, and working in new mediums.
