The Latest from Matthew Werner Handcrafted Furniture
I may have been quiet for the past few months, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy. I had the amazing opportunity to design and make multiple pieces for my client’s remodel project for their home in San Francisco. Every piece had marquetry, and I think it’s some of the best work I’ve done. Now that the project is nearing completion and the building is getting cleaned up in preparation for move-in, I had a chance to go up and have the work photographed. I’ll show a few samples below, but be sure to click on the link to go to my website and see the full project.
Star Jasmine and Banks Roses are the theme for this pair of dresser cabinets that flank a walk-in closet, with a wall panel over the door that completes the garden trellis look. Figured cherry for the cabinets, bigleaf maple on the fronts, and custom wenge pulls.
Just a few details to whet your appetite for more. Living room bookcase trimmed out in red roses, made with bloodwood, carob, vera, and wenge, and trimmed in black walnut.
Fireplace mantle adorned with orchids made from satinwood, yellowheart, holly, and bloodwood.
Mandevilla mirror over the fireplace, bloodwood and carob flowers with yellowheart centers, and vera foliage.
Thanks for looking. I’ll be doing Open Studios in October, and hope you have a chance to visit then.

Interview
I recently provided content for a UCSC student video project. Its an edited interview over still images they captured in my studio, runs 2 and a half minutes. I expected it to be cringe-worthy, but I think its actually rather sweet. Thanks to Edgardo Chavez and his partner Dale.
