A handsome desk set
|
|
I've
added a set of pencil holders, paper weights, and business card caddies
to my line. They make a great set for any desk. I offer
introductory pricing for orders on these items through August.
See my order form for
specifics. |

Desk set details
|
|
The
pencil holders stand about 5 inches high, can hold plenty of pens,
pencils, scissors, etc., and have a steel-weighted bottom so they
won't tip over. Choose from a square or angled top.
The
matching paper weights also incorporate steel
to keep your papers in place. An ultrasuede base prevents scratches and
helps keep these pieces from sliding around.
The
business card caddies have a smaller matching stripe horizontally across the
face, a weighted bottom, and plenty of room for holding 50 or more
business cards.

Along the same lines |
|
I
also offer a larger paper weight cut from Jatoba, a rich and dense wood
that needs no extra weighting.

Paradise City |
|
I'm excited to announce I've been
accepted to the prestigious Paradise City Arts Festival in
Marlborough, Massachusetts. I'll be presenting high-end boxes at
this November show and will be busy through the summer preparing
inventory and displays.

Just for fun |
|
It's going to be a busy year, but I'm
maintaining a playful attitude in the workshop. Here's a piece I
really enjoyed making, and enjoy even more playing with.
These
interlocking cubes use a
complicated through-joint at each 3-dimensional intersection.
Watching the play of opening and closing views through the cubes as
they spin is fascinating. I plan later this year to add a new
page on my web site devoted to unique pieces like this that I'm not
offering as production pieces but that I want to show off and offer
for sale to whomever is interested.

Next newsletter |

I'll keep you posted on improvements I
hope to implement to keep my work rolling smoothly out of the
workshop and into your stores during the coming fall and winter
sales season. |
