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.
This dining room table was made out of highly figured Mahogany, also known as "Ribbon Striped". The base has gracefully curving legs that lead up to the apron, which is reminiscent of Japanese Shoji's.
The table top was kept natural to highlight the figure, while the legs were stained dark. The whole piece was finished with a hand rubbed oil finish.

I love the mirror that Brian made! Working with Brian was such a pleasure. I described what I wanted, gave him the dimensions, and held my breath. The mirror arrived faster than I expected and it is beautiful. The workmanship is extraordinary and the design is exactly what I had in mind. Brian's ability to turn my words into a beautiful piece of art has exceeded our expectations. We have received numerous compliments on this piece. Thank you Brian!
