new 'stuff for sale' page

on june 30th, the guild of vermont furnituremakers and several other artists from the metawee valley
will be opening a temporary gallery in the former covey & nye store across from the equinox hotel.  it's a beautiful space, and we'll be open friday, saturday and sunday through september 9th.
this 'pop up gallery' is sponsored by the southern vermont arts center, and will be promoted
by stratton magazine.  there will be lots to see, and while i will have a number of items'there, i have will have other items for sale, both in my shop in dorset,
and in another local art gallery, helmholz fine art about a mile away.

the slab at the top of this post is a piece of claro wlanut, about 36" wide at the 'hump' and
about 80" long ... the blue tape is at 60" ... can be trimmed to be more 'regular' ...
desk, small dining table, coffee table, headboard?  your choice ..
this slab has been sold
below is just a partial listing of other items ... stop in at either of the galleries, or call to visit my studio at 802-867-5541 most times, or
    802-867-0139 on nights and weekends ..

this photo shows both sides of a pair of 12' live edge walnut boards
they are aboout 1.25" thick in the rough and can be cut to make a great
dining table, desk top, headboard, or coffee table .. 
your choice determines the price
these planks are your book cases
this stunning piece of claro walnut is about 36" wide by 42" long .. 
it could be trimmed to suit, or finished as is into a coffee table or
center table .. temporary, mockup up base in the photo above.
this one will probably make it into the art manchester gallery, 
but maybe not in time for the opening ..
we've got several slabs of mildly spalted maple available for coffee
tables or to be glued up into desk or kitchen island tops.
for kiln dried live edge slabs with a little character, these are reasonably priced ..
they are finished in the photo with just a wash coat of shellac for color 
and will be more dramatic with a final sanding and finishing ..
 i also have this random piece of verde antique marble ... needs a little edge work, or can
be cut to suit first for whatever you need .. right now it is 20 x 66 x 1.125 thick ..
sweet little crotch walnut coffee table about 32 x 44 with four
'compass point' brass inlays .. nice grain, with a reclaimed chestnut base.
and then there is this 'david smith inspired' coffee table. 



view through the base

these two planks of red oak, along with a few walnut or cherry
butterflies will make a dramatic small dining table, 
any width up to 45" by any length up to 75"
the oak planks are sold
 
these two pieces are available at helmholz fine art in manchester.
the table above is /- 34-37 wide by 90 long
 close up of one end here

 +/- 44 x 70
this piece of reclaimed chestnut and steel was available until it sold at open studio.

even if i had know where it was going ...
more to come soon ...
