I wanted to bring your attention to a few things you might be interested in. First is a new book available for pre-order by David Mathias called Greene & Greene Furniture – Poems of Wood & Light. If you’re a big fan of Greene & Greene like me, you’re probably going to want to pick [...]

An elegant frame inspired by Greene & Greene and Darrell Peart.

I am sure many of you remember the Hall Frame I was working on a couple months ago. Well the article I was writing for Popular Woodworking was finally published and can be found in the August 2009 issue. I have been writing for Popular Woodworking for about a year now, but this was my [...]

Well here it is folks: the Hall Frame reproduction. This was an incredibly fun project and was one that had a profound effect on me. Having actual contact with the original piece (made in 1909) and creating a reproduction in 2009 just made this project that much more special to me.

We covered a good bit of ground today. We started by preparing the stock for the remaining parts of the table base and drawer. This beautiful piece of 5/4 mahogany served us very well! Not wanting to use any more material than necessary, we had to carefully plan and layout our cuts. Darrell’s design calls [...]

I have my camera and I have my laptop, so why not go ahead and document my class? Today was Day 1 of what I am calling “6 Days to Aurora”. We are building Darrell Peart’s Arched Aurora End Table: an incredible modern take on some classic Greene & Greene elements. Day 1 was very [...]

This week’s question comes from Tom, who writes: I am planning a display case for a shotgun (grandfather’s) and a putter (dad’s), and perhaps a smaller case for two pocket watches (grandfathers’). I was thinking simple boxes at first, then I started considering adding some detail that could represent my contribution when I give them [...]
