Very special customers in Fairfax, VA, had their kitchen remodeled, and to tie everything together, they wanted a butcher block table. It needed to be the same width and height as their kitchen island, so it would seamlessly extend the island for a food preparation space.

Real butcher blocks showcase the wood’s end grain, which makes them the perfect chopping surface. They’re also more resilient to wear and tear and less likely to dull your knives. There are countless design possibilities for butcher blocks, using different woods to create beautiful colors and patterns. We agreed on a weave pattern using walnut and maple for the tabletop. I used white oak for the table’s base, adding thick, tapered legs and a convenient push-to-open dovetailed drawer. I finished the tabletop with RMP Finishes tung oil, which allowed the end grain to absorb several hand-rubbed coats, giving it a lovely patina.

The result is a stunning table with a unique tabletop that will be perfect for preparing meals for years to come.

What if there was a wild eagle whose DNA carried a rare glitch—one that awakens in years like 1976 and 2026? A trigger that causes his feathers to molt in bold red, white, and blue, with shimmering fragments of stars scattered throughout.

If there was such an eagle, this is what he would look like.

I created this piece to prepare for our upcoming 250th birthday. It’s based on an original image, born from the thought of that eagle with a glitchy gene.

Last week, I had the pleasure of delivering a Koi Pond Coffee Table to a new customer in Washington, DC. This table is an original design that captures the essence of a koi pond. The tabletop is an oval glass piece, resting above an oval panel adorned with intricate marquetry depicting a koi pond. A variety of koi fish and lily pads reside in the pond.

My customer wanted his cat to be part of the table, so I crafted a curled-up cat to sit by the pond’s edge, watching the fish. The table’s base is made of ash, and the pond’s water is satinwood, with a shore of ash burl. The koi and lily pads are created from dyed veneers for the necessary colors. It was a fun project that I hope brings joy for many years to come.

Last week I completed a large wardrobe project for a new customer in New York City. He wanted an art deco wardrobe, built into a corner of his small apartment. With 10’ ceilings, the wardrobe could grow tall to make full use of the space. I drew up a design proposal, which was fine, but then came an unusual request…”can you put vines on this wardrobe??”. The result was a tall wardrobe in African mahogany, with a vine, done in marquetry, winding around it from top to bottom.

The challenge was to create marquetry work for an intricate vine that would align across doors, panels, frames, and drawer fronts as it wandered through the piece. I made a sample vine panel for the customer that was then refined with his input to include art nouveau elements, a hummingbird, and a purple tulip. I made the wardrobe in 5 pieces that could be more easily moved and assembled in-place.

The end result worked out well, and the customer was thrilled. Turns out the real challenge is finding a place to park a U-Haul van overnight in Manhattan. Many thanks to my friend Jeff Berczek for making the trip to help me deliver and install this wardrobe.
