Pull one of my new Contemporary Barstools up to the kitchen counter, then sit back while I pour us an ice cold glass of lemonade. We'll toast to our health, to the joys of being a Grandpa (hard to believe) and to another very successful year as a professional woodworker. I'll put something on the grill and we can stuff ourselves silly. Don't worry, the barstools I've designed are made to withstand many many years of such activity and remain solid, comfortable and beautiful. Give me a call...I'd love to build one just for you.

comes in the form of a Klismos Chair. This ancient Greek design is characterized by a broad crestrail and opposing curved front and rear legs. This same timeless elegance is captured with my version of the Klismos Chair.

I've just made my TV debut with the Montana News Station on KTVQ. I was very fortunate to have a full 2 minute segment which aired Sunday evening at 5:30 pm and 10 o'clock pm, and again Monday morning and evening. A special thanks to Nikki and Jerry, and everyone else at KTVQ for such a wonderful piece. For those that missed the segment, or if you'd like to see it again, here's Scott Morrison's TV debut. Enjoy!

Be sure to checkout Town & Country this month (October) as they've run a feature on yours truly. It's very exciting to be so honored and I can't thank Janie Osborn and Suzanne Gannon enough.

The 39th Annual Sun Valley Center Arts & Crafts Festival was absolutely amazing. I was awarded Best in Woodworking for 2007, a great honor, which includes an automatic invite for the 2008 show. I want to thank Kathryn McNeal and the rest of the folks at the Sun Valley Center, not to mentional all of the volunteers, for putting on an excellent show. See you guys next year...

My latest piece is finally complete! I'm very excited about the new Butterfly Occasional Chair, which can be seen here in Claro Walnut. When designing this chair, I wanted to convey sensual curves as well as organic strength. Much like the curves of a womans shape, the lines are soft and easy on the eye. To accomplish this, I've used my trademark Butterfly Joint, which provides incredible strength between the legs and seat while remaining consistent with the overall design.

I've just been invited to exhibit in the number 1 rated show in the country. Wahoo. The 50th anniversary of the Gold Coast River North Art Fair will be held August 3rd, 4th, and 5th at the gallery filled North neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois. Be sure to stop in and test drive one of my custom rocking chairs.

Each year, the Cherry Creek Arts Festival brings the works of over 200 international artists to Denver. I've been invited to exhibit my custom chairs as one of the 2007 Artists accepted into the show. The Cherry Creek Arts Festival is Colorado's signature cultural event and is one of the nation's most competitive outdoor juried arts festivals. I hope to you all there!

I've just returned from the 2006 Western Design Conference, where my Rocker Cradle was awarded the People's Choice Award. I was humbled to be amongst so many talented artists. My sincerest thanks to Rachel Walls and Yancy Bonner and everyone else at Western Interiors for putting on a great show.

I'm just about finished with my latest chair design, which will be unveiled next week at the Sun Valley Arts and Crafts Festival. Made of cherry, this low-back style accent chair is just exquisite. The original and first of this chair design will be available for sale at the show. It is signed and numbered and includes the special identification: prototype.

I will be one of the featured artists in the 2006 Arts Edition of the Big Sky Journal. It will be hitting newsstands next week, so be sure to pick up a copy. I want to thank Stella and Janie, and everyone at BSJfor such a wonderful piece.

The 2006 show by Art Association was another huge success. It was great to see all of you from 2005 who took the time to come in and say hi again this year. My trademark "butterfly joint" was unveiled along with my latest design, the Butterly Rocking Chair. I want to send a special thanks to Willy and Barb of WillyMoc for their wonderful support. See you all next year!

Come see me this July at Art Fair Jackson Hole. Established in 1965, Art Fair Jackson Hole (previously known as the Mountain Artists Rendezvous) brings diverse forms of art to a community that is rich with western history. AFJH is a three-day event that takes place the third weekend of July and August.

I had a great time last year, and I'm really excited to be invited back. I'll be exhibiting this July 14, 15, and 16th. Hope to see you there.

The list of exhibitors for 2006 has just been announced and we're one of 130 who've been invited to the 38th Annual Sun Valley Center Arts & Crafts Festival.

My latest project, a unique sculpted bench, is now complete. The contemporary design of this piece features a "molded" shape. This individual stool also serves as an great ottoman when paired with a Classic or Pemberley Rocking Chair.
