Display cabinet for one of our favorite clients in Bel Air. We vacuum pressed 3/4” thick panels together to creat the 1 1/2” thickness for the vertical panels and color matched to the existing cabinetry in this beautiful kitchen. Brass edge fronts and custom made brass doors. Finished in a matte lacquer. We pre-finished all the parts, assembled the cabinet, then veneered the countertop surface last to give a mitered edge look to the countertop… then finished the countertop. A lot of steps and thought went into this one! Designed by the great folks at .

Maybe the heaviest coffee table in the world?? Recently completed this beautiful solid Walnut coffee table for family home in Malibu, CA. Thanks to for partnering with us on this one. Finished in oil, with an additional coat of their maintenance oil. It’s great to see it in this epic home.

Another unique piece designed by for the Pacific Palisades home. Truly one of the more challenging designs we’ve taken on. We created the doors using solid mdf forms and six layers of 1/8” bendy-board in a vacuum press - only took two attempts ; ). This piece took a great deal of time and effort from our team with the form of the doors and the multi toned finishing. So happy with the result. The drawer boxes are a 1” offset of the shape of the fronts. The entire exterior and door interiors were veneered by hand. Finished in stain and oil.

Coffee table in Solid Walnut for one of our favorite clients in Pacific Palisades, designed by . We really love everything about this piece. It has a subtle round egg-like shape with a recessed top surface, leaving a beautiful raised edge. I especially like the shape of the tray, which can be placed anywhere on the top. Finished with stain and oil.

An outdoor dining table and seating area (last few pictures) we recently completed for a client in Corona Del Mar. The table nicely doubles as a secure military fort as you can see in the second picture. This was an important aspect of its design. ; )

Looking for an experienced woodworker!

Just delivered this coffee table we finished today. Made from solid Walnut. The base has a baltic birch core and shop-made 1/8” thick solid walnut as a veneer. Finished in pure. Hope you like it!

Built-in piece we just finished and and installed yesterday for great clients LA. LED-lit display boxes made from 1/2” material, painted, and imbedded in 1/4” thick walnut outer boxes. Finished in pure. Walnut Veneer throughout. Designed by .

Just completed and delivered this solid White Oak sideboard/dj booth to a great client here in LA. This piece had a few challenges, but it all came together. The first challenge was to create bypassing doors that also closed flush. I vaguely remembered seeing another woodworker solve this problem but couldn’t find anything online when it came to designing it! But I knew it was possible. So, with a good amount of time in I was able to work out a double track shape that would work with two dowels in the tops/bottoms of each door (see the video in my next post).
The second big challenge was simply the time to create the sign wave in the software with so much geometry involved. The sign wave was an engrave tool path using a v-shaped engraving bit on the CNC. Hope you like it!

A pair of night stands we made recently for in Los Angeles. Solid Walnut bleached and oiled with pure. We learned a lot of lessons about walnut and bleach on this one! It was very challenging to get consistency in the color across multiple boards of Walnut, but happy with the result!

A little project we did this week for a photographer friend. . It’s a modern version of a parchment scroll - will live in the Jewish Museum in New York City.

A set of nightstands we recently completed for . Solid Walnut and finished in Touch of Gold tinted oil (real gold in it!). Challenging little pieces!
