These four pieces are made of cherry with accents in Bolivian rosewood.  The bed features a cloud motif borrowed from Japanese and Chinese architecture.  The two night stands are a mirror image of each other, with the granite part of the tops near the bed on each side for water glasses. 

Coffee Tables

  The top of this table is gray granite with a beautiful pink veining.  The wood is bubinga, which I chose because the color matched the pink veining.

The brontosaurus table.  The top and legs are wenge and bubinga a full 2" thick, which contributed to it's weight and name.  It weighs over 150 pounds.

Quilted maple and purpleheart.  All of the horizontal members have a slight camber to make the piece a bit lighter.

 Granite and Oregon walnut.

 Cherry

 A pair of tables inspired from Chinese biwa tables.  The wood is a figured oak.

  This piece and the one below were made as a pair of his-and-hers desks.  This one is the boy desk, which is slightly heaver, larger and with a slightly bolder detail on the stand.  They are both cherry and Bolivian rosewood with ebony drawer handles.

 The girl desk, which occupies the same room as the bed, shown above, has a cloud pattern matching the bed. 

This case was made to house the Steinke collection of wind instruments at MusicSources in Berkeley, CA. The woods are wenge and bubinga.  The instruments are modern copies of baroque oboes, flutes and an oboe de amore, all made by the late Doug Steinke.

Hall tables

 The stone part of the top is a rose colored marble with fossilized shells.  The wood is purpleheart, which matches the color of the top.

Osage orange and walnut.

Granite and wenge.

 This is a ming dynasty Chinese design made from petumba, a rosewood-like wood.

End tables

 The top of this table is bubinga cut into thin strips and woven together, which is a  technique that was frequently used in Japan for sliding doors, and sometimes even ceilings.  The other wood is walnut.

Walnut and marble.

 Walnut and rough finished sandstone.
