This is a dinning chair made out of Cortez (Brazilian ironwood) with a linear weave dutch cord seat. The joints are pierced bridal joints (just sounds cool dosn't it) and finger joints. This is a very difficult wood to work with, it destroys blades, is nearly imposible to face glue , splinters, and is toxic. Sounds fun huh.

This is a cherry bench with hand cut mortice and tenons (who wants to make money) and dutch cord seat. the weave is very non-traditional in that it goes all the way around the bench and adds greatly to it's structural integrity. 785.00

This is my shop and some of my dust creating robots. Under the pure energy drinks are some gorgeous Cyprus book matches in the drying process.

I'm sure my life will be changed forever now that I have a Blog. I was inspired by my friend's at bikes and rec in Boise Idaho. I thought I would post a smattering of pics of the sort of projects I have been doing over the summer as well as some info on my shop and the work I like to do.
The chair in these photos is made of Cyprus with a linseed oil and beeswax finish. The seat and back are dutch cord. The weaving process is very physical, much more so than the actual construction of the chair. I was only able to weave for about three hours at a time.
The bar stool is quartersawn oak with a linseed oil and beeswax finish. It was inspired by skyskrapers and wabi sabi style. I destroyed three router gigs cutting the bevel in the top.
The coffee table I like to call Heavy-D (iy). It's in my living room been danced on several times. It's recycled beams mortised with a Skillsaw I made it the day before thanksgiving. In a five hour rush. Whats thanksgiving without a coffee table? I put a small bird inlay in one corner as a tribute to one of my favorite woodworkers, Paolo Samko.
