The design is derivative of the simple forms of American Craftsman Style furniture. Special details of an architectural nature make these pieces unique in design: The front legs (corner posts) are formed from three pieces of 1/2” thick cherry boards glued and biscuited together providing a stable post due to its three ply opposing grain configuration. The post construction presents a basic joining assembly feature: the three pieces allows for the side panels or braces to be sandwiched into the corner posts, again adding to the integrity of the structural strength of the piece. This also allows for a detail to emerge of trivertrate corners, and the dental at the top of each corner. The dentals support the horizontal under carriage of the top giving added dimension to the piece, a base for the special top and continuity to the forms of each piece. The top has a laser cut veneer panel bordered by a 3” solid cherry mitered frame.

All details are based upon square and linear cuts throughout the piece: The dental when at the top drawers are added as pulls for the top drawers to again emphasize the unique detailing of the furniture and adding to the architectural rhythm of the piece. The solid cherry bands around the top of the piece have corbels cut into the underside adding detail to the edge. The feet of the cornerposts are a modern geometric representation of earlier period furniture styles that incorporated (literally) animal feet into the base of the legs. The drawers are solid edge banded cherry veneer fronts on solid maple dove tail jointed boxes. The small top-drawer fronts are faced with lacewood veneer for a compatible but subtle change of texture emphasizing the top of the piece.

All face wood is quarter sawn American Cherry planed to 1/2” thickness. Interior sub structure is made of MDO and Poplar for strength and stability.
