Robert speaks of his work:

"When I design a piece, I think of it as a sculpture in the format of furniture. Often it is in nature that I find the most inspiration. Even a single blade of grass represents a perfect example of a subtle curve and gentle taper".

"My primary goal is to delight the viewer (and collector) with furniture that is fresh, alive and playful. I want to design and build furniture that irresistably pulls people in for a closer look and instills in them the desire to touch. The works of wood-art that I create are considered to be of heirloom quality to be cherished and treasured for years to come."

The top is made of highly figured curly-grained book-matched Hawaiian Koa wood. The legs are laminated for extra strength with an accent of maple inlay and black-dyed Costello wood. Koa is found nowhere else in the world, other than in Hawaii. It is truly one of the rarest of woods and treated with great respect by the master artisans who use it in their heirloom pieces of furniture art.

And like the dining room table shown above, the top is sealed with long-lasting epoxy, then carefully handrubbed with a diamond compound and wax finish that requires not maintenance other than an ocassional dusting.
