Waterfall Table Lamp

A table lamp for the Ah Haa summer auction.  Claro walnut, purpleheart and steel with LEDs inset beneath the horizontal member. The little silver button on the top is a four stage metal-touch dimmer. 38.5" long.

A diagonal shelf system for mid-sized ceramics done in ash, purpleheart and highly figured walnut.

Asian inspired queen bed for the Poseys. Black walnut with an attractive slab of figured myrtle for the headboard.

At last! With handles made from scrap rosewood smuggled back from a Costa Rican surf trip, the mirror box is easily mounted and ready to use. Its dimensions are: 43" wide, 42" tall, and 11" deep.
To see the progress of this project from the beginning, scroll back a mere 28 posts.

With the finishing complete, it's time for final assembly. Here I'm attaching the box frame within the notches of the runners. Later, the curvy supports that go below the box frame will attach to the frame and runners. The hook bar will then attach to the supports. Finally the mirror is attached to the runners as well.

Once the glue has dried, all surfaces must be sanded smooth before finishing.

After many hours cutting, shaping, sanding, and fitting forty vertical supports from walnut, the shelf/ box frame gets glued. A total of sixty small surfaces are being glued at once. Speed and accuracy are critical.

Once I'm happy with the look and feel of my scale drawing (on the cork-board in the upper right) I make a list of each puzzle piece with exact dimensions. Then it's to the basement to select the rough stock. Each piece is selected with a careful eye for how the dusty plank will present as part of the finished piece.
