This is a sample railing I built for a log cabin show room. The burls are from NH. I don't use wood glue or hardware, the mortise and tenons are hand carved and pulled into place with strong ratchet straps. The burls are caused by inflammation of the bark and are very rare. The bark when inflamed by the blight grows thick like grapefruit skin and transcribes into wood at the end of the season.

Oriental Choking Vine legs, mosaic top with grout.

This lamp was made from four types of wood; white birch and cherry for the lamp shade, hemlock base and the rings of the lamp were white pine.

I collect 'J' shaped aspen trees from steep hillsides and fashion my chairs out of the unique material. They are very strong as are all my pieces due to the attention to the hand carved mortise and tenon joinery.

The wood is cherry, white birch, yellow birch and white oak.

Sconse that was made from a tree that fell on a clients loved ones car.

This is a work in progress. It was made from an old pine rootball pulled from a dried up marsh in Colorado. I passed the wood onto Bert Poling, a very talented wood turner, after he finished with it I grinned and sculpted it further down to a fine polish. The gloss on it is its own sap buffed so hard that it heated up the rich sappy wood and left a high gloss. The center is a the center of a cross cut sugar pine cone.
