Who doesn't like cool looking furniture?

As an artist, the weirder the better.

Another form of art I love is the art of furniture. I had the pleasure of taking a woodworking class in my sophomore year here at CCS, where I had a better understanding of the craft of furniture making. Our assignment was to design and make a table. It could be any type of table you want, so I chose to make a work desk. I made about 3 mini models, first hand drawn then made of pieces of scrap wood. My final piece was way more complicated than I planned. I had the bright idea of making the two back legs 3 inches taller than the front, which would make resting your arms and writing a little easier. Well, let me tell you, those angles kicked my booty.  But I was happy about the result.

It’s amazing during that semester how much of a relief that class was to me. I was able to step away from my computer for a few hours and work with my hand, get dirty and physically manipulate the details, I loved it. I also mixed and applied my own stain, sand, buffed and clear coated all the pieces. I also made a side shelf to be removable from between the right front and back leg (not shown, got a little too ambitious and couldn't finish it). If time permits I’d love to take more classes and create more cool stuff.

Here are a few images of super cool furniture pieces.
