Our client needed a Bedside Table for a bedroom, but did not want to be limited to using it solely as a Bedside Table. Knowing that she might someday wish to use it as a Sofa End Table, she asked that we create her table without a full-back so that she would not be limited to placing the table against a wall.
This piece is crafted from Quarter-Sawn White Oak and incorporates mortise & tenon joinery. With display space above, ample space below, and a drawer featuring half-blind dovetails, she now has a lovely and flexible addition to her home furnishings.

A couple of new pieces from Gathering Wood had to be put on hold as we moved our family and woodshop from California to Kentucky. One particular piece, There’s No Place Like Home, will soon be released in your choice of a routed edge profile or as a framed Wall Art.
We hope to have this new piece up on our website very soon.

Needlepoint Under Glass
Our client spent a considerable amount of time completing this piece of needlework. She requested that we incorporate the finished piece into a practicable Serving Tray and have the needlework protected under glass.
This project was completely custom. The Serving Tray frame profile was milled to allow for 1/4″ glass, the professionally mounted needlepoint, and a Cherry back-piece ~ all retained by a removable stop. The removable stop will allow for access, if necessary, in the future.
