Speaking of buying handmade gifts this holiday season, I took a quick look at Etsy.com, a site which lets all sorts of craftspeople market their wares easily, and found that plenty of talented woodworkers are selling some really nice furniture:
- Surrender Desk & Apex Rocking Chair: solid cherry & curly maple
- Curly Cherry Dean: maple legs & curly cherry top
- square Mission coffee table: solid ash, great grain
- Charles Rennie Mackintosh design king bed: solid ash. massive! – also in a queen
- plant stands / tabourets: solid ash, lighter stain
- simple Amish farm bench: solid butternut
- small display shelf: pretty wood, fantastic price
) and continues that tradition of austerity and craftsmanship in his own work. His furniture is influenced by "Arts & Crafts, Asian and American Shaker furniture designs" – and in its smooth lines, deceptively simple framing, delicate dovetailing and use of several beautifully-grained woods, these pieces combine elements of all three styles.
