I find the particulars of designing and making new work to be a moving target. Rarely, a well-formed idea will present itself. Quick sketches will lead to a plan, a plan to a prototype, and a prototype to a finished product and debut. More often, however, the process is much less linear. I’ll struggle to work through mock-ups and scale models to ge...
We’re likely all familiar with how a large group of turnings that incorporate the pommel cut appear; most any staircase with turned spindles would be a fine example. Some even contain pommel variations within their patterns. But how does a group of pommel cuts present in closer proximity? How can this detail be used outside its usual context? How c...

I fitted disks of various sizes into one another, the interactions between them technically the same—always an arch of one circle cutting through at least one other. The interest for me in this design was in how the details came ...
I wanted to see if I could expand the Pommel Table geometrically, not limiting myself to a square or rectangular form. After many sketches, models, and mock-ups, I was left with an array of unsatisfactory results. I couldn’t manage to merge rectangular components with hard-edged pommel cut lines with other, softer-edged shapes naturally. The detail...
