Live-edge walnut coffee table, Original TimberView the work
My practice moves between art, craft and custom design, made by hand or machine and guided by materials.
For more than two decades, from Modern Bamboo to Original Timber Co., the work has started in the same place: the material. Bay Area trees, milled and finished into tables, objects and complete rooms.
