Here are a few images of the pieces I made for the Minneapolis furniture show: Guerrilla by Design, which I participated in August 10-12, 2012.

For it having been the first annual event for the Guerrilla by Design I'd say it was a huge success. The turnout was exceptional. The atmosphere was alive! And it's safe to say we definitely made a statement for Midwest furniture design. The one downside is despite people being super excited about seeing the latest in local art, it seems they didn't come prepared to buy. So it goes...

 This sideboard is made entirely of solid Ash with a custom water based stain. The door panels are solid, applied steel plates and the pulls are reclaimed cast iron. The construction was accomplished using tapered sliding dovetails. 58"x32"x18"
 This bench has an oak base with a black lacquer finish, and a fiberglassed top with a white satin lacquer finish. What you can't see in the picture is the small sliding panel which conceals a small storage space flush mounted into the top. 68"x17"(H)x18"(D)
This stool is also made entirely of Ash but has a two tone stain highlighting the interior structure. It was assembled with floating tennons and has a leather covered swivel seat.
