entctr.jpg (10107 bytes) The old and the new come together in perfection in this entertainment center.  Antique chinese handcarved bed parts were integrated into this substantial piece.  The sides and main shelf were fabricated from one 30" by 18 foot long mahogany board.  Two drawers and a cavernous storage space make this piece as practical as it is beautiful.  Truly a one-of-a-kind specimen.

A classic Mission Style chair in leather.  As comfortable as it is durable.

Koacabinet.JPG (38299 bytes) Koa venner on the door highlights this delicate cabinet.  The legs, in bocote, "shall not be ignored."

shakerbox.JPG (37824 bytes) A bloodwood lid on this cherry shaker box glistens in the light.  Pefect for storing those little knick-knacks.
