Design is reminiscent of an old post & beam barn frame, complete with antique barn pegs used for drawer pulls.

Thanks for the comment. I do tend to lean towards the "heavy" side when it comes to design. I think it may have started because I use a lot of recycled wood and usually want to see most of the patina, causing me to design around the rough dimensions I start out with. All these recent posts are pieces I built several years ago. Now that I'm at FW full time, I just build commissioned pieces here and there.

It is difficult to create unique items. I'm not sure why so many wws do reproductions, we've all seen that before. All your woods seem to be very unique also with some sort of story to it, I like that. Taste being subjective, I can't say I agree with all your design decisions. I think it's proportions that I'm struggling with but if it's the way you want it don't change anything. I admire your creativity. Are you selling this stuff or do you just own a lot of tables?
