For many years now I have been experimenting with the dramatic, fluid and graceful forms that can be created by cutting one piece of wood most, but not all the way through and then expanding it. This method has led to clean, honest forms where the structure is the ornamentation.

As you can see from the photo above, it is still one piece of wood. Open it like an accordion and connect it with the Walnut bar to make a useful, sculptural bookend.

These bookends are made from FSC certified sustainably harvested Ash, and a small piece of walnut. They are finished with a completely non-toxic oil based finish.

About the Designer
I have been making furniture for 17 years, first in Taos, New Mexico and now in Port Townsend, Washington. During that time my work has evolved to be more organic both in design and technique. Forms in nature have always been my primary inspiration. I admire the simplicity and economy of the natural world where each material shows its full range of possibilities.

I am drawn to natural forms because they are not static: they grow, spring, flow, balance, fracture and erode. Each of my designs starts with the idea of such a motion, in addition to the function of the piece of furniture. In my furniture I emphasize structure over ornamentation, and dramatic transitions instead of exposed joinery.

To refine my designs, I sketch, make scale models and full size patterns of important parts. I choose woods that complement the design of the piece and the room for which it is made. Since nature is my inspiration, I try my best to care for it by using sustainably harvested woods. Many of the details of my furniture do not show up in photos: textures, edges and curves that are meant to be touched more than seen. I want my furniture to be fun to touch, sit in, eat off and live with for many generations. This item is custom made and finely hand-crafted. It usually ships within 8 to 10 weeks but we make every effort to shorten delivery time as much as possible.
