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’m currently using baltic birch plywood that comes prefinished with a baked on acrylic gloss. On the cut edges I apply a non-toxic linseed oil and beeswax finish. View what’s available in the shop.

I’m currently taking some time off to work on other projects. I still hold inventory of some of my catalog units: Hex, Super Slot, and Perfora.

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 back in the county, before I moved to Portland, OR. 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.
