This tiger maple Chippendale lowboy is reproduced from a Philadelphia piece, circa 1760-1770. It is beautifully proportioned and has wonderful ball & claw feet. Philadelphia patrons loved carving--the scrolled apron is masterful and completes the piece. Gregg uses our PC-81 Chippendale drawer pulls to complement the design, and they look just right.

Bob Hodgetts took part of New England's soul to Colorado and works bringing traditional furniture to the wild west. This Newport blockfront is built from a staple of the New England forest: tiger maple. The carving on this piece is quite splendid, and really makes the chest a masterpiece. We are proud that our drawer pulls were used on the piece.

This Arts & Crafts side table is made of mahogany and curly maple and the two woods provide a lovely contrast to one another. The top is nicely inlaid for more contrast and the antique brass hardware (AD-4067) accents the maple very well. John Mensch recently moved from McKinney, Texas and now lives in New York.

The Maynards are interested in most kinds of furniture and design, and this curiosity keeps their pieces living and changing. It is easy to see why they are successful. Their furniture radiates joy to me. From museum seating to custom work to office furnishings to Asian influenced pieces, their versatility helps define them; and you can see a small piece of this variety on their website.

Joe and Mary Lou Szabo are very talented people. Not only does Joe create and teach intarsia, he also builds period reproductions. I chose to feature his intarsia because it is such an unusual skill. Above I show 3 game boards, but also two other designs that can be applied to furniture, boxes or framed. Intarsia is art. A careful choice of woods provides the unusual textures and colors, and stains or paints are rarely used. From large religious icons to corporate logos, intarsia can be used just about anywhere.
