a real tour de force of workmanship by one of my most talented collaborators @hawkandstone a shallow wall-hung console i designed, made from a solid two-inch thick slab of mappa burl please swipe through to see the idea go from my two-second doodle to finding the right slab, and to see dave’s complete mastery of his craft - matching grain on the fronts of each drawer and the perfect finishing in age-old technique of amber shellac to bring the grain to life - even the drawer box itself is mappa WITH NOT ONE INCH OF VENEER it takes a lot of work to get something like this right grateful for my team @jdwoodbury and @marklumerman and my bright summer intern @g_uberoy who understood what i was going for as they developed the drawings grateful too for big thick wood and of course for dave always bringing his A+ game mostly grateful for my trusting and supportive clients who heard my suggestion for their foyer, saw my little sketch, said yes, and paid for it all to come to life. stay tuned for installation shots #ryanlawsonllc should i include this in my product line?

Ribbed redwood from echo park. I made this back in 2021 and it was one of the bigger pieces I had turned at the time. It made a little appearance in Dwell this year thanks to @orcaliving .

Custom table for a very specific space. This thing is a tank with solid mortise and tenon joinery, hefty 2-3/4”slab top, and chip carved rosewood wedges. I found a perfect hourglass shaped slab from @gl_veneer that I cut and flipped the live edge to the middle. I cut most of the live edge off and kept a hint of it in the center. There’s a 1/4” gap down the center tied together by 4 rosewood butterflies. I had a lot of fun hashing out the details with the client on this one.

Cypress with copper patch. Inspired by the repaired factory floors in the old mill buildings in the northeast.
