Pencil-leg Table/Desk: This design with a drawer works well for tables up to 65" long; without a drawer it can be as long as you want and in both cases the depth is up to you.

The table darkened enough in a years time to fit in well with the much older surrounding pieces. Overall dimensions are: 30"H x 48"dia with a 22" leaf.
Price - $ 5,000 as pictured.

TLB Desk: I designed for a 6'5" lawyer with very contemporary tastes this cantilevered desk was installed with sailboat backstay adjusters attached to bolts through the floor to anchor the end and allow for leveling.

Don's Desk: Another candidate for a signature piece I cannot take full credit for the design. I drew a desk with lots of arcs and my "Ming Shaker" detailing. The customer came back with the design where the curve in the pigeon hole console carries on through the lower drawer frame; that detail makes the piece! I have made this desk in two other sizes.

Price - $ 6,000

Paine Standing Desk: Another customer at the same law firm where TLB and Mr. Bothwick work, Mr. Paine has bought a regular desk as well. In both cases he provided pictures of items he liked.

Price - $ 4,500

Mr. Bothwick's Desk: Mr. Bothwick has furnished his whole office with my furniture including this desk a credenza, four chairs and a drop leaf round occasional conference table.
