Just finished two of these. They are for sale and ready to ship.

This is a sketch my granddaughter Hailey sent me. It's a table she wants to build, and I am excited to work on this project with her! Hailey is a wonderful kid—she's curious about everything and very creative. Today is also her 17th birthday!

Al Gore ripped the Trump administration to shreds in a speech Monday at a climate week event in San Francisco.

I’m glad I looked first!

This project dates back to 1993. I wrote an article about it for Home Furniture Magazine in 1997 (Taunton Press issue # 11). I hadn't quite figured out the details of Greene and Greene yet. Some of it looks clumsy to my eye now.

Much bigger turn out in West Seattle than I had expected. We marched for 2 1/2 miles down California Ave. Every intersection had a group making noise !

Getting ready for today’s event in West Seattle…

I will be presenting a slideshow on May 9th at the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking for Fine Woodworking New England. "The Details of Greene and Greene Furniture" This will be about the original furniture designed by the Greene's and built by the Halls. www.finewoodworking.com/new.england

Back to working on the Cascade Tables today - verifying that the drawer fronts fit into its opening. #woodworking #greeneandgreene

Every morning I go for a walk in Lincoln Park (Seattle). Wonderful way to start the day!

A project from 16 years ago. It’s a Game Table that I adapted from the Greene & Greene Gamble House Dining table. #woodworking

This is a project from last fall. It's a reproduction (with some liberties taken) of the Greene and Greene-Gamble House Dining Room Table. I made two of them - one for a client and one for us. There is a lot of unseen work in the slide system! #woodworking #greeneandGreene #furnituremaker

We always go to Endolyne Joes for breakfast on Sunday morning. It’s my favorite place in Seattle! Some of the tables are game tables with small drawers on either side. People write notes and stuff in the drawer. This morning there was this! Love it!

A Greene and Greene style conference table I made a few years ago. #woodworking #greeneandgreene #furnituremaker

A couple of tables from last year. I call these "Tempest Tables". I got the idea from the swirling shape of needles in our driveway after a storm. #woodworking #furnituremaker

Another project from many years ago. My Aurora Pedestal Desk. #woodworking #greeneandgreene #furnituremaker

Progress on the Cascade Tables today. #woodworking #greeneandgreene #furnituremaker

Some images of a couple of older projects - Greene & Greene Blacker House Rocker and Settee. These were more difficult than they appear. The front legs are parallelograms, but the arm is square; it all meets at the knuckle where it needs to be rectified. #woodwork #greeneandgreene #furnituremaker

New design underway. I'm calling it "The Cascade End Table". (or nightstand) Two of them are in process. They are spec pieces without a home yet. If you're interested in purchasing them, please let me know. #woodworking #greeneandgreene

Lots of energy in Seattle!

Huge crowd in Seattle today!

Getting ready for today!

This is how I am feeling today - equal parts pissed off and frustrated - and lost! I sent my two senators ( Murray & Cantwell) emails this morning. See the image description for the text of my email.

Moonset in Seattle’s Lincoln Park this morning. Puget Sound in the foreground and the Olympics in the background.

Current project almost ready to apply finish - my Pirouette Table

More work on the Zinnia table remake today. The legs are two pieces ripped at 60° and then glued together—six legs total.

Starting the remake/revision of the Zinnia Table. This time I'm adding the bead back in (left out last time). Also, the primary wood will be Honduras Mahogany, with the starburst being Plum Pudding Mahogany. I will post about a couple of other changes as I make them.

Small tables a great way to play with design. This is my Yuki No Hanna (snow's flower) Table. This is the 1st in a series of posts on various tables I have designed and built. #woodworking #design #furnituremaker

I am unhappy how this table turned out. I should never have used maple for the shelf. It's way too distracting! What was I thinking! So - I am going to remake it (in different woods) and implement some changes. The shelf will not be a veneer but solid segments . #furnituremaker #woodworking

My first post to get things going. Some of my furniture pieces. #woodworking #furnituremaker
