Damask Moon

Damask Moon is an 18" diameter cresent moon designed to hang on a wall or as a center piece of a large table or console. The vessel is Birds Eye Maple. I used bleach to create the damask pattern so the wood grain is visible through the color change.

Coffee table Blanket

What do you do about those coffe table Ottoman things. Where do you put your coffee....?

A carved African mahogany blanket. Looks soft- acts hard. Viola'!

It turns out to be a bit confusing to people. Most still think its a blanket. A testament to seeing what we expect to see.

For my wife
