Tripoli Galley- Bench and Cocktail Table
I brought a second piece over to the Tripoli Gallery of Contemporary Art In Southampton NY. The new piece is a cocktail table in Sapele. The new table continues the exploration of glass and curved wood that I have been into recently. The Curved Dovetail Console Table is this tables predecessor.
I am very happy with the way that the two pieces look among the paintings so if you are in Southampton stop by and check out the galley.

Smithsonian Craft Show 2011
The Smithsonian Craft Show officially started yesterday with a speech from the Secretary of the Smithsonian G. Wane Clough. He pointed out that the Building Museum is one of the finest buildings in the city. I have to say that I am blown away by it.
