This table was built and donated by me to my former employer, the First Nations University of Canada. I managed the capital campaign for the new home of the First Nations University of Canada. When I was told we did not have a boardroom table for the boardroom in the budget, I whipped up this and gave it to them - it was a little more involved than that. I am also graduate of the University too and forever grateful for the experiences I gained while wearing many hats there.
Below are some photos of past work that demonstrates some of my abilities. I am always looking for a challenge, so please bring me your most demanding requests.

The next few pictures are of a Greene and Greene inspired dining table made from Manitoba Ash. With this table I set out to build some thing rustic and graceful with wood that most people burn here. It now occupies a proud place in my dining room.
This is an entertainment center constructed of $3000 worth of Carpathian Elm and Myrtle Burls. It has been built with the best of components including push to open drawers, ergo no hardware. My charge for this was $1400, plus a couple hundred dollars worth of exotic burls the customer threw in. At present I am building this gentleman a handrail to his nicely finished basement, a wet bar and some Greene and Greene inspired display shelves. Of course, it will all be made from exotic burls as well.
And these photos are some of the cabinets that I built in what feels to have been a different life. You know, before kids, mortgages, business pressures and life after enlightenment...REALLY?
These are 25 Solid Maple Specimen Boxes that were built for the First Nations University of Canada's Science Department. Each box had a removable glass top and they were used for storing and displaying specimens (flora and fauna) in the Natural Sciences Division, work that was done long after I left their employ.
These are some photos of various cabinets that I built a few years back. All the paneled doors were built in my shop.
