I was born on the San Saba River over 200 years ago in a native pecan grove. Some call me spalted because I changed colors and had a soft or rusty spot or two. If so, I suggest time has spalted all of us to some extent. I argued greatly with being split into four pieces but appreciated being put back together like a book. I was cast against metal that exceeded my horns but subdued it to form my new roots. I was layered with epoxy and oils and, after the sawdust settled, I saw my beauty and strength.

Influenced by my recent move to the Texas Gulf coast, my art is now inspired by coastal fauna and wildlife. I live in the middle of the Brazoria County Wildlife Refuge, surrounded by an array of inspiration-waterways, hundreds of bird species, alligators, fish of all sorts, and more. Fishing has always been a passion for me. As a young boy, I spent time fishing with my dad at local farm ponds in Illinois. My move to south Texas in 1981 gave me the opportunity to fish the Texas Gulf coast. Redfish proved to be a fun game-fish and tasty, too. "High Tailing" is a result of my love for redfish. I designed and constructed the base and top from mesquite. The finish is pre-catalyzed lacquer. The embedded fish tail is a Petra bond sand casting of aluminum. The patina is acrylic enamel. I then carved the scales with a Dremel and sealed the fish with a clear acrylic.

This unique piece of mesquite inspired it's creation into a naturally styled and sculpted, mesquite mantel. The finish takes time, along with 7 layers of Liberon oil, finely sanded and lovingly hand rubbed in. This is then topped with several thin coats of Howard Feed-N -Wax liquid wax. The mantel is hung using a French cleat for stability and ease. Portions of the mantel were left more natural and raw to achieve a contrast in the design. This piece can be custom fit to your specifica􏰀ons.

The Hyperion Chair is the product of a long-distance collaboration with renowned Brazilian furniture designer, Pepé Lima. It features nine steam-laminated slats that form the seat and chair back. Walnut was selected for the majority of the chair, however, there are small accents of reclaimed mahogany that was salvaged from the demolition of a century-old organ loft. The build was executed in 2024 in my shop in North Dallas.

Texana I is the exemplar of a limited series of six coffee/cocktail tables, each uniquely distinct. This was inspired by Tom Hucker's legendary Ledge table then crafted of iconic Texas woods to create a decidedly Texas accent. The design lines are discernibly contemporary while the Texas woods reflect a free and rambunctious Texas spirit. Surfaces of one pair are the same log, fumed, heavily- charactered live oak dimpling. Another pair is lightly charactered, book-matched Texas mesquite. The central surface is double book-matched highly figured Texas pecan. The base features relatively rare and richly figured dark Texas ebony with typical flourishes of yellow sapwood.

The Marquetry is made up of 15 different species of wood from around the world: Quarter Sawn Maple, Sycamore, Fiddle Back Makore, Brazilian Walnut, Quarter Sawn Walnut, Spalted Maple, Pommel Sapele, Birdseye Maple, Robel Burl, Ebony, Bubinga, Lacewood, Karlien Burl, Butternut and Red Oak. The Finish is "Conversion Varnish" a very strong Polyester finish that is similar to Lacquer but far more durable.

The walnut legs for these tables are intended to emulate curves found in nature. They are constructed through the process of bent lamination, cutting the laminate apart then coopering the resulting pieces back together. Wedged tenons secure the legs, presenting the complex-figured grain of the top. The ash top is from a locally harvested tree, milled and veneered to show the most interesting grain with a layer of walnut to tie into the legs

The lotus settee is an original design by Stan Beckworth. Built with his son in law Blake Loree (also a fulltime furniture maker) this was a great opportunity to combine their talents and ideas into one piece of heirloom furniture. This Settee features influence of some traditional French pieces but combining it with the Indian/Asian Lotus flowers (fully carved by hand) gives it a unique blend of styling. Made from genuine mahogany with an upholstered cushion seat. The settee is finished with stain, pre-catalyzed lacquer and wax.

The Starfish is hand crafted from Heart of Olmec, a tree with no commercial value. Much like mesquite, Heart of Olmec is considered more of a nuisance than an asset by the locals. Trees are not straight, and the wood is very hard. It is not sought for lumbering though many like it for fence posts. I discovered it 30 years ago while living in Mexico, and have kept it to myself since. It is an amazing wood in many ways, ideal for bending, unaffected by atmospheric fluctuations, and impervious to rot and insects. Its beauty speaks for itself. Many of my best pieces have been with this wood over the years

 The theme of this piece, and much of my work, is five. Five is more challenging and
interesting than four. The style comes from an original Starfish I made out of a hollow log ten years ago. The curves were given to me for free on that one. I pondered for many years how to hand make that form and jazz it up to the power of 5. This Starfish is an amazing confluence of my favorite wood ever, all things 5, and my obsession with bending wood.

This mid-century-modern 38” round tambour coffee table has been crafted from 100% walnut and walnut burl veneer. Each individual tambour slat was milled down over several weeks, then hand-planed to final perfection to ensure that it will last for generations to enjoy. Inner cabinets, shelves, and leather-lined drawers are made with curly walnut and fit snugly in dados. The inspiration for this project was my love of MCM furniture and tambours with a few twists added to make it a truly unique piece.

The main construction is mortise and tenon joinery. All of the Ebony accents and the exposed "fingers" were shaped by hand. The finish is several coats of a hard wax oil finish
