Greene & Greene Inspired Coffee Table May 22, 2008

To kick things off I thought I would add photos of my most recent completed project – a Greene & Greene inspired coffee table. Built of solid Cherry with Walnut accents, it measures 18″w x 40″l x 19″h.

It features handcut joinery including through-wedged mortise & tenon on the lower shelf, as well as pinned mortise & tenon at all the corners.

The top is attached to the stretchers and aprons with wooden ‘buttons’ which allow it to move with seasonal changes in humidity.

The finish is an oil/varnish mixture which is great because it provides water resistance, and it is easily repaired/renewable.

Decision ‘08… May 22, 2008

So, I decided to take the next logical step in an attempt to bring some attention to my work, and to encourage me to stay on the path of productivity. I will be making (at least) weekly posts as I progress through some current portfolio projects. It is my intention to take you through the construction process of my pieces, as well as presenting finished work as I attempt to develop a body of work worthy of consideration for galleries and juried art shows.
