Another flashback till I’m ready to show what I’ve been working on lately. Walnut floating shelves in a high rise in the Gold Coast.

Here’s one of my projects from the past. This is a take-away counter I built for Revolution Brewing here in Chicago.

Of all the pub tables I’ve built over the years, this one is my favorite. I built this about 5 years ago for a home bar client. It’s made of quartered sapele and mottled kosipo.

Here’s a project from a couple years ago. Built in mahogany and ebonized sapele cabinets with double mitered doors and mahogany crotch raised panels. The open fixed shelving is for vinyl storage.
