I am making this coffee table as a traning piece, and as an example of what I believe may be a style people may enjoy. The top is made of grey-green slate and mild steel diamond plates at the slate intersections. <br/> Tue, 01 Nov 2005 04:07:29 GMT Peter Davis http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83611 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83611"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_9299/f941a835e5bf6ce411ac9e674707d79a/f941a835e5bf6ce411ac9e674707d79a_scale_58_80.jpg" height="80" width="58" border="1" alt="My second all-wood chair" /></a><br/>THis is the second chair I made for my mom's office. It is made of all red oak. It took me about 3 months in between school and working for food money.<br/> Tue, 01 Nov 2005 03:56:08 GMT Peter Davis http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83610 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83610"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_9299/3110bba6340ef8bf00bad21083f0f1e4/3110bba6340ef8bf00bad21083f0f1e4_scale_50_80.jpg" height="80" width="50" border="1" alt="A second image of one of my first chairs" /></a><br/>THis is a detail image of the joints and leg design.<br/> Tue, 01 Nov 2005 03:52:51 GMT Peter Davis http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83609 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83609"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_9299/b7eea9a6108dc97b65e659b23acd317d/b7eea9a6108dc97b65e659b23acd317d_scale_38_80.jpg" height="80" width="38" border="1" alt="One of my first all-wood chairs" /></a><br/>This chair was my third. It was done in all red oak, including dowel fasteners. The back is sculpted for good lumbar support. I made this in the 1990's while going to community college.<br/> Tue, 01 Nov 2005 03:46:41 GMT Peter Davis http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83121 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83121"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_9299/2743c002f70c3ca5eff50e8514721af9/2743c002f70c3ca5eff50e8514721af9_scale_87_80.jpg" height="80" width="87" border="1" alt="1 square milimeter of a rock" /></a><br/>This image is of a wafer thin piece of rock. While mostly quartz, the interplay of grey and subdle shades of ble and brown are amazing. This rock came out of a subduction zone 100 million years ago in what is now west central Turkey.<br/> Thu, 27 Oct 2005 04:41:06 GMT Peter Davis http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83109 <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=83109"><img src="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_9299/86d5ec2a38d86a37c37301bb7c4586ed/86d5ec2a38d86a37c37301bb7c4586ed_scale_62_80.jpg" height="80" width="62" border="1" alt="Concept Image for my next stage" /></a><br/>A mild steel scrap with surface corrosion to some, just the right balance of orange and blue to others. The interface between the metal and cement floor are the basis for a new line of pieces I will be producing shortly.<br/> Thu, 27 Oct 2005 04:23:44 GMT Peter Davis
