Dining Tables, Coffee Tables, Desks

Since 1989, I have worked with Brooklyn sculptor and cabinetmaker Robert Kalka to make dining tables and desks. I bring a sense of surface and form. He brings his talent with construction and sensitivity to the sculptural impact of functional work.

The tables are dramatic and personal. Our favored woods are Cherry, often with the saw marks left in and American Chestnut from re-sawn barn beams. We have also used Ash, Oak, Elm and Spalted Maple.

Side Tables, Sofa Tables, Entry tables

I. personally, make tables in the tradition of the tinker and the "hedge carpenter"… from materials on hand in generally invented designs… I use the same round mortise and tenon joint I use to make chairs. Sometimes I screw the pieces together.
