Standard Walnut Bedframe
This bed frame was made for apartment living. It’s able to be disassembled into four pieces, Headboard, footboard, and rails. Making it easily transportable for a move to a new home.
The style is simple but robust, and allows for storage underneath. It was also built slightly higher off the ground in order to create a visually lighter footprint in a smaller sized bedroom.
It is also built with steel slats and a solid plywood base for the mattress, this reduces weight and negated any wood movement. This also eliminates the need for a box spring.
Mattress sits 25” off the ground total.
HeadBoard is 42” tall
Footboard and rails are 18” the ground.

The top has 4 beveled edges to lighten the heft of a single slab piece. The web frame support structure also has slight bevels at the same angle as the top.
Inspired by Nakashima, and classic Early American trestle table design, Strong structure but visually a lighter design.
Wedged through tenons - This will provide a mechanical joint preventing the tenon from shrinking and becoming loose in the mortise. A little extra insurance for the test of time.

Corner Bookshelves
These two bookcases originated out of a need for storage. In NYC everything in your apartment is a balancing act. Since floor space is such a premium, I made freestanding but removable bookcases that sit on top of the radiators in our home.
Each bookcase was reverse designed from the space they now inhabit.
The form is simple, sturdy, and most importantly adheres to the spatial requirement.
Staked Live Edge Bench
Inspired by Chris Schwarz’ Staked furniture and the live edge work of G. Nakashima I set out to make this bench from whatever was at hand in my shop. I’ve been challenging myself to build out of whatever limited or existing wood I have vs buying what I need and more for an idea.
This way The material constraints have a hand in determining the size and design of the piece.
It’s made from a small black birch slab that was kicking around the shop for years.
The staked legs are attached via sliding dovetail battens and wedged through with tapered mortises.
