Yellow Birch Side Table
This table started with a stark Shaker design and sought to bring the viewer's gaze more forcefully toward the wood's source. The empty space in the middle of the top creates a vessel to hold remembrance of the material's earthly origin. The result of orienting the book matched live edge boards keeps all sides of the table a uniform dimension.

Wood Shed
Timber Framed enclosure designed for a tight space in downtown Providence. I milled all the beams and lumber for it out of a few Eastern White Pine trees that I knew personally, did some joinery with a CNC router where it was faster, and the rest by hand. It is used for cord wood storage in the winter and a summer play house for the client's children when it's empty in the spring and summer, waiting for next years firewood.

Farm Table
Based on a traditional shaker form found in the summer kitchen of many farms— a simple solid utilitarian table, made with local walnut harvested and milled in West Greenwich Rhode Island and pine harvested and milled in my hometown in New Hampshire.
Quarter-sawn Walnut, quarter-sawn Pine, 4 brass bolts and threaded inserts. 60 x 32 x 29.75 inches
Cross Country Skis
Traditional bent laminated cross country skis, additionally inspired by the refined utilitarian work of Walker Weed and Scandinavian tradition. This project combined traditional techniques with the profile and geometry of modern race skis, with dynamic material testing. These skis transformed the heated whirr of the milling machines into the timeless sound of waxed wood on snow transferring body power into efficient forward movement (Yes, they still work flawlessly after ten winters of heavy use).

Farm Table #2
Based on a traditional shaker form found in the summer kitchen of many farms— a solid utilitarian table, made with local Cherry and Cast Iron legs from my friends at Ares Iron cast in Providence RI. The table top has rugged wide supports underneath with oval shaped guides too allow for expansion and contraction with the seasons and keep the top perfectly flat over time.
