My favorite eco-conscious woods, are reconstructed veneers which are manufactured from fast growing sustainable trees. These woods are harvested, then reconstructed and recut to replicate highly figured naturally growing exotics. Making beautiful veneer from ordinary sustainable wood lessens the commercial need for rare old-growth hardwoods. Other ecological benefits of recut veneers include, standard sheet sizes, and color and grain consistency throughout each veneer sheet. In addition, the yield of reconstructed veneer from one wood log is many times greater then standard veneer sliced from naturally grown solid lumber. With higher yields and lower waste, reconstructed veneers greatly reduce source utilization.

The design development of each selected idea takes nearly 75 hours from sketch to built prototype. The sketch evolves to define all aspects of theming, detailing, materials, color and pattern. I build quarter scaled models to test and refine these ideas. Next, I create quality control specifications, and measured drawings for use as full scale fabrication templates. The design is engineered to be easy to build, though in limited edition. Each furniture work is expertly handmade through a spirited collaboration with select Minnesota craftsmen using the finest materials, thoughtful details and exacting standards. All wood furniture pieces are cut, edge profiled and carefully sanded into shape, then oiled, stained and finished with hand-rubbed lacquer, and fitted into a layered puzzle-like composition. Next I hand-craft and apply all ornamental accessories. Each completed furniture work is numbered, dated and authenticated with a Certificate and furniture attached Artist Signature Plate. Inventory is kept to a minimum, and most works are fabricated on a made to order basis. However, some select Products may be available for immediate purchase.

To help ensure safe delivery, shipping crates are recommended and are available from the artist. All merchandise purchased artist direct, is sold from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and shipped fully insured and freight collect to be paid by addressee.
