The Architect's Stool
This "working"stool was designed by the artist for use in his shop.
The 10½” x 18 ¼” footprint makes it perfect to tuck under a countertop for
occasional extra seating, although you may find yourself gravitating to it for its
comfort and portability.
The cherry stretchers are steam bent, square pegged on one end and key wedged on
the other. Shown at 30"h, the stool
may be custom-fitted to buyers' height. |

The sculpted cherry saddle seat reveals the triangular maple through tenons, secured
by offset rosewood wedges.

The Nouveau Mirror
This wall mirror has styling evocative of the Art Nouveau period, with flowing
lines and graceful curves. Shown here
in cherry, it is also available in white oak, walnut and other woods as requested
by the client.

The oval beveled mirror offers a more than adequate
area of view for the user. The cup
provides a location for earrings, other jewelry, a
votive candle or any small item desired to be close at hand.

The Garden Piece
Hand-forged by Kurt, the base for this “beautiful and useful” piece has the organic
lines of a natural vine. The base and
bowl are of white oak, capable of resisting the elements.
The feet of the piece are shaped as oak branches, entwined by the vine, which reaches up to cradle the detachable bowl.
Carved leaves serve as accents. The
artist envisioned this for a porch, where it would stand ready for use to hold vegetables
or herbs picked from the owner’s garden. 37"h x 17"w x 18"d overall. |

The Ceremonial Bowl
Inspired by an African basket in the collection of a patron, Kurt sought to develop
the techniques required to fabricate this shape in wood.
Fiddleback makore veneer were applied to bending plywood, with a center disc
of crotch maple. The handles are of
curly maple, with leather accents.
The separate base is also of curly maple. 24"dia x 4"h |
