Log and Stick Style Furniture

 This style can be reproduced upon request, contact me if you would like to inquire.

 
Television Stand

Built from various logs this piece is 20" tall x 36" wide by 24" deep. This is one of my most recent log/stick pieces and I really like the direction my work is going here.  I built this piece for my parents to hold one tremendously heavy t.v.  Lots of mortising, tenons and even some wedge locks. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Log Bed

Built from various driftwood logs and sticks, this piece holds a queen sized bed.  I had a lot of fun with this piece using only mortise and tenon style joinery.  I tried to avoid any employment of the traditional nails, screws, and glue.  Instead the weight and the interlocking joints hold it together.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
End Tables

Built from various driftwood sticks these pieces stand 30" tall x 14" wide x 14" deep.  These pieces are a lot of fun to build and add country woods feel to any room that they are placed in.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Coffee Table

Built from various driftwood logs and sticks this piece is 20" tall x 48" wide x 20" deep.  This piece was a lot of fun to build also.  I really enjoy throwing these logs together in ways that no one has seen before and I feel like this piece really communicates that thought.  It is that unique and original look that I am after.
