My dream project, which was to build a piece to incorporate both disciplines which I am being trained in- furniture making and wood marquetry- is now becoming a reality! I am working on a piece for this year’s Texas Furniture Makers Show in collaboration with my colleague Spider Johnson in Mason, TX. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about this piece, not only because it does marry the two disciplines, but the concept of the piece is very strong as well. It has a story. We have already completed the first, larger marquetry, and just finished building the proof of concept yesterday. We will begin the actual build on the 14th. I will of course post photos as soon as I have them. Got my finger crossed! :-)
