Brian did a remarkable job. Generally when I have work done I'm disappointed. I'm extremely picky and I find little things half done. Brian is literally the only person who has ever done work for me with whom I've been entirely satisfied. I asked for a table he often makes, but with several modifications. He would go over those with me painstakingly. When I wanted to change the drawer handle, he mocked up different versions and photographed them on the piece so I could see how they looked. Since I wanted birdeye maple, and the look of the piece would be very dependent on the degree of figuring, he selected boards and sent photos to me so that I could OK them before he continued. He also photographed the construction for me every step of the way so I could give my wife a little slideshow (it was a present- I'm happy to email the powerpoint if you like-> toczyski@cc.ucsf.edu). Even the crate he constructed to ship it in was well-built, sturdier and better constructed than a lot of furniture I've seen. Finally, when I asked what finish he used, in case I ever needed to re-oil it, he offered to just ship me some of it.
The shape of the distinctive slats gave inspiration for the naming of this table. Built out of curly cherry, maple, and ebony inlays, the Hourglass Table is a shining example of how a simplistic design can be altered to create an extremely enjoyable piece of art.
