    New line furniture pics.

    Hi all,

    It's been a while since i've posted but I recently finished a desk that is part of a new line of furniture I've been designing. Also here is a tall table that is part of the line too. Thanks for looking.

    Very nice design. Bold clean lines. I don't do "modern" type stuff but very much appreciate the look. Yours are quite striking.

    Thanks guys,
    I like sharing and getting feedback, it's good for the creative process.

    I've really liked using the cement and steel, it's like an extension of my painting.
    The bamboo is new to me but I really like it. It's a little difficult because the stranded stuff is "splintery" and tears out when cross cutting.
    The other bamboo ( on the bottom of this piece ) is much easier to work but has a more consistent grain so it's not as "fancy". Over all I'm going to keep using it because I like the contrast it provides to the solid wood areas. It is expensive though.

    Just beautiful John!

    Great execution.

    Very interesting mixed media there. On the last two pictures, are we seeing polished concrete slabs with rebar still in it?

    No, it's a 1/8 x 2" steel frame with poured concrete. I then grind and buff it to create the top. It's held to the top of the wood with 1/2" steel tubes so it floats on all 4 corners.
