Shuffle
Kewzinga, tamo, quilted maple, steel, mahogany
dimensions 78"h. x 46"w. x 14"d.
July 2006
Shuffle started as a cabinet with doors. I found I didn't like hiding the most dynamic part that the shelves provide. That was the piece initiated the design in the first place. It's the first component in what I hoped would be an office suite of furiture based on "an earthquake in wine country." It didn't come to pass but I still enjoy this piece as much as anything I've done.

Burnett residence
Iron and Steel
dimensions various dimensions
made for Dr. and Mrs. Burnett
August 2011
This is an Anderson/Wise project that we worked on over the course of 1 1/2 years. We did all the ornamental and architectural metalwork in the home as well as some structural steel retaining walls that elevated the backyard 4' above the adjacent yards to allow for installation of an ingound pool. Some of the a work that we are most proud of is the cantilevered garage awning, the outdoor fireplace, the simple curved handrail and the front fencing with custom pedestrian and driveway gates. The fencing panels were recycled from a church in Pennsylvania and were made from wrought iron, a material which has not been produced for almost 100 years. The fence panels date back to the 1870's.

Krames Dining Table
White oak, stainless steel cable
dimensions 42"w x 29"h x 78"l (120"l expanded)
made for Christy Krames
July 2011
Christy came to me with a very strong visual idea for an expandable dining table. She had visions of a dramatic Art Deco-inspired base made of a big "X". I designed a base with curved, bent-laminated shapes that joined in the center. It was a crazy, nutty frenzy of construction: 24 layers of oak veneer in a big clamping form with glue squeezing everywhere. But somehow, miraculously, it worked, and how.
