Here are several pieces of furniture which I have designed and built. Click on each picture for a larger photo.
| This is a bent willow chair which I made in 1994. I took a course at Red Deer College in Alberta, Canada in Willow chair making, and this was the result. |
| This is a wall cabinet made in 1978. It is bent birch aircraft plywood laminates, sprayed with black lacquer. Each section of the cabinet (behind each of the 3 doors) has a drawer at the bottom that has a curved bottom to match the sides of the cabinet. Doors have push-latches. |
| This is another set of wall cabinets, one unit of which is a set of drawers. The sides of the drawers are curved to match the side of the cabinet. |
| This is a loveseat designed by myself and my wife Margaret Bigelow. The cushions soften the rather severe wooden structure. |
| This is the back of the loveseat, showing the wooden structure, which is made from Western Maple (a softer wood and wider grain than eastern rock maple.) |
| This piece was for my graduation from the Sheridan College School of Design. It was published in Fine Woodworking Design Book II. The table is knock-down and the legs appear to pierce the table top and hold up the cabinet. It is made of white oak and every line in the table converges to an imaginary point above the table (even the grain of the wood). Thus, the legs, the sides of the cabinet and even the vertical dividers on the desktop all converge to the same point. The sides and dividers of the cabinet are thicker at the bottom than at the top and thus each side of the piece of wood coverges to the point above the desk. |
