I’m a modern furniture artist in Portland, Oregon. I build every piece myself in my home studio. I specialize in modern Scandinavian design using exclusively baltic birch plywood. I use an old world non-toxic linseed oil and beeswax finish that’s hand applied. View my collection in my shop.
Happy Spring! I’ve transitioned to a build to order model so that I can still offer my catalog without holding so much inventory. Most pieces have a three week lead time with the exception of my record crates, HEX, PERFORA and SUPER SLOT. You can read the blog post about the improvements that I’m making to those pieces.

Introduction
Get to know who’s building your furniture. This is short format version of a film put together by my friend Keith of Hyperion Creation. This was filmed coincidently on the weekend before I finally took this business full time. You’ll see my old shop which was a bit tighter than the commercial space I’m in now. I show parts of my chair build process and walk around the house and property. Currently I’m the sole builder and I do every part of the process myself. I’m proud of the pieces that I make and I hope you enjoy the film. If you’d like to watch the long version you can find it on my about page here.
