This table is part of a new series of tables that are poured at the same time, in an effort to bring production costs and time while maximizing the beauty of each project. The 18″ square design fits in a wide range of settings, and the base heights can be adjusted to the customer’s request. The mesquite wood and virtually any combination of color / transparency offer a great deal of flexibility in design.
This table was a customer request to fit in the tight space between a door and their couch. They requested a turquoise epoxy, and it was my first attempt at using metallic pigments in a project. Along with the metallic pigment, glow in the dark pigment was also added for a touch of fun. The edges were chamfered to prevent injuries to their little ones that play in the house. See, you can have something that’s durable, safe, and great looking… all in one package!
This is a pair of cedar rounds that are filled with a forest green epoxy. When backlit, the green really pops and turns into a bright neon color, giving the table a multi faceted design and function.
One large slab was used to create the tops on these two tables. A metallic powder was added to the epoxy to create the effect on the river portion of the slab. Solid maple was cut down to create the frame, slat shelving, and drawer sections of the piece.
This cabinet was created for two special friends that have started collecting vinyl, and wanted something to contain their collection. They decided on walnut for the wood, and I chose a frame style that was inspired by Le Corbusier’s chair designs.
The piece was intentionally designed to be simple, with little to no embellishments. A single leather strap gives access to the inside of the container.

This bench was an interesting challenge! The client wanted a light colored slab that would contrast her darker floors. Luckily, a local Houston wood supplier had a great piece of maple that was suited to the task. We went with a cobalt colored epoxy and used a more opaque blue tint to allow the color to stand out against the light colored wood. Due to the 96″ length of the board, 4 trapezoid legs were fabricated to stabilize the piece and provide enough support to stand on if needed. The bench was finished with seven coats of wipe on poly.
This large 3 panel painting was an abstract commission that utilized automatic drawing – the process of creating as you go. Measuring 6′ x 12′, the piece was inspired by both Cy Twombly and Claude Monet, with large color fields and abstract explosions of color that melt down the piece.
Acrylic / Oil on Board.
This large slab was not filled on the edges to take advantage of the interesting live edge. Thus, it creates drama with a narrow to wide taper as you move across the slab. Black matte epoxy fills the interior spaces and the slab is finished with tung oil and wax for a low subtle gloss.
This large cedar slab table was created by my father. His goal was to create something that would fit in a broad range of applications – rustic and modern alike. The chunky cedar top is finished with tung oil for a subtle matte finish.
This mesquite slab was ravaged by nature – both the elements as well as a bug infestation. But the damage done by the elements proved to form the perfect setting to reinforce the slab with epoxy and expose all of the rough elements.
