 Sentinel ArticleSanta Cruz, California
Other than a few inaccuracies (e.g., the "massive slab of wood ... 3 inches thick and 18 feet tall", is actually 2" thick and 10' tall, and it's walnut, not sycamore, but whatever...), I thought Brian did a nice job. Some folks commented that I looked tired in the photo, which is probably true since I'd just returned from a 5 hour training ride with my Team Bicycle Trip teammates.
You can read the article online here. The music stand shown in the left of the photo is currently being shown at Many Hands Gallery in Capitola, CA

New Works: Cupid's Dart
 Sometimes a client will request an inlay subject I would never have thought of on my own. Such is the case with this cherubic little archer that graces the top of a jewelery box ordered by a client for a special someone.
The box above is fully appointed with drawers, dividers, and a hinged lid lined inside with an elliptical mirror. The cherub inlay is done with ebony. I've since made smaller, simpler boxes with the same cherub inlaid on the top. Below is one that is currently available. (Hint: Makes a great Valentine's Day gift.)

New Works: Guitar Stands
 I have had several inquiries for guitar stands over the years, and finally had a chance to design and build several with help from my apprentice Ben. The stands are designed to hold an acoustic dreadnought-style guitar, and can be custom-designed to accommodate other styles as well. The guitar hangs securely from the headstock on a padded yoke. A very stylish way to safely display your axe in the practice room. Current versions are available in walnut or heavily-figured blue-gum eucalyptus. Other woods available on request. You provide the guitar! The two stands pictured are available at Gallery M in Half Moon Bay, CA. |
