Namesake for a new style i am developing, 'Through the Forest, Lightly', this piece features a live edge top and subtle curves and angles in the legs. Nature is my inspiration here with carvings of the salamander and butterfly on the end panels.
‘Alice and the Woodland Table’ is the second piece in my new style, ‘Through the Forest Lightly’, featuring a live edge walnut top and carvings of a Grapevine and a Caterpillar on Bellwort on the end panels.

Swooning Sofa, mahogany. An original piece designed with a client to fit in a specific spot with a specific intention, this unique chaise longue has elicited much joy for the family in its new home.

Cliveden sofa, mahogany, originally built by Thomas Affleck around 1765. It features the unique carving pattern on the front and side rails called gadrooning.

Newport Tea Table, mahogany. This beautifully shaped table is a reproduction of a piece originally built by John Goddard of Newport RI in the mid 1700's.
