This is an example of our popular "Double Roofed Post Lantern."  This post lantern was designed to the client's specifications including dimensions, copper finish and choice of diffuser.

Zoltan and I worked from a pencil drawing of his concept. I then brought my expertise in joinery and CNC machining to help resolve the need for a timely completion date. 

 We executed Zoltan's design in reclaimed native Texas pecan with powder-coated steel accents and structural components. The pecan was harvested on Onion Creek in Austin. The logs were cut on my sawmill and dried in the kilns located at my shop on 730 Shady Lane .

This three-pronged structure, located in the center of a large water feature in a landscaped park for an exclusive housing developement, echoes the water lily motif found in the rest of the project, whimsically recalling successive stages of blooming, and provides a distinctive identity for the project.

This bar table that sits outside of a bourbon bar at the base of the 360 condos.  The owner wanted to extend the seating area outside and create interest and curb appeal for his bar.  The ipe top is very durable and can withstand the weather outside while only needing to be refinished once a year to keep it's beautiful color.

This fence, pedestrian gate, and sliding driveway gate are a part of my house and shop.  I live across the street form a busy convenient store, and was looking to have a as much privacy as possible and to eliminate a lot of the sound.  Mission accomplished. 

International architecture firm Gensler opened a new office in Austin, TX at the W Hotel.  I met Lance Yeary of Gensler at the East Austin Studio Tour in 2010, where he saw a massive walnut slab at my shop.  His firm immediately commissioned this table.  The only drawback was that the 15 foot long slab would not fit in their feight elevator.  Lance said, no problem.  They were hiring a crane, and removing a window, to bring a steel staircase into the office anyway.  The day of delivery, I pulled up to the building with the table top crate in the back of my truck.  Riggers threw straps around it, and up my table went into the sky and through the office window where it still sits today.
