REED PLANTERS

Initially designed as accent pieces for my furniture display.
But soon after completing everyone was drawn to them.
colleges, delivery people and shop visitor's all wanted one.
They are a nice addition to the foyer furniture line.
"FOYER GREETINGS"

They are made of solid wood 5 1/2 sq. and rest on cast concrete bases which I do here.
I hand carve the center detail on the top, it takes time but this is the detail that
adds so much to them.

The set of three are $1,200.

FOYER GREETINGS TABLE

A new addition to the "Foyer Greetings" series.
Furniture for the foyer..
This table was designed to compliment the
The bench titled: "Vertical Rest" ... a time for the body to take a rest from being vertical.
At the time I was creating numerous narrow vertical wall and free standing pieces,
so the title also referred to me taking a rest from creating vertical pieces.
