Logs scrounged to become fine furniture.

I have had quite a flurry of log activity this spring. Thanks to some friends in the tree service industry (thanks Matt and Paul), we have been able to save some very fine wood. Next it's off to the mill to make lumber, and in a year or two we can use it. It typically takes a year for a one inch thick board to dry enough to be stable for furniture use.
Spuzzy is watching over a very fat Sycamore, a Walnut and a smaller Sycamore log. So you want to know where your food comes from, and now you can see the origins of your next piece of furniture.

Rare Piedmont Cherry Scallop

This shell was carved from a single large Cherry burl. It is 30"by 26" and 9" deep. The stand is also Cherry bent lamination and the whole stands almost 40" tall. All the wood is locally harvested Cherry. This is a commission from a local patron. I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to make this for them. It is currently on display at the Ambleside Gallery in Greensboro NC at 524 South Elm St.

Recently completed set of Benches.

These benches are part of a series. It is an on going project with 4 delivered so far. The seats are made of Eastern Red Cedar, and the legs are bent laminated Black Locust. Fun to make and quite comfortable. Look for similar benches in different wood species. Each bench has its own special characteristics.
