Here’s a quick look at what Rick has been working on in the shop. We are both submitting work for the upcoming show at Confluence Gallery titled “Hearth”. The work needs to be there this coming weekend and they will set up next week for the opening on Sept 3rd.
He had an order for a side table and made a second one for the show. The one on the left is the custom order and has a cherry base with beech top and shelves. The one on the right is for the Hearth show and has a shedua base with birds-eye maple top and shelves. It is gorgeous!
He also finished up this coffee table – the top has been done for a while, but he hadn’t figured out what to do for the base until the last couple of days. Talk about working under pressure! The wood is afrormosia (sometimes spelled afromosia). He set an antique floor grate into the top, with a piece of smoked plate glass over that. It has ebony pegs in the top and the base where the cross-pieces come through.
He is taking them to a photographer today for studio shots.
