Couch I
Summer 2000

This piece barely made it out of the prototype stage, and represents Mr. Millers first attempt at more difficult furniture projects.

Simple Table
December 2001

Completed in a single day almost as a dare, this piece represents Mr. Miller's first foray into the world of the wood planer. A simple and light finish brings out the complexities of the pine wood grain structure. Mr Miller painstakenly collected the wood for this piece from the bin of the local Home Depot wood yard.

Arm-Chair I
Summer 2000

Like the couch, this chair is underwent various improvements. Seen here in January 2001, it had seen much better days. Assembled completely with dowels and glue, it could not withstand the rigors of the Christmas season. Mr. Miller has since begun using modern hardware for chair construction. This chair was permanently taken out of service in September 2004.

Free-Standing Shelves
February 2001

The design of these shelves were conceived in a dream, and completed in a day. This is a strong example of an chaotic design process, where, begining with a design, a series of accidents and mistakes combined to create this final product.

Speaker Stand
February 2001

The 90 degree angle is the most convienent angle to produce using wood working tools. These speaker stands were conceived in an attempt to push the square to new levels of visual interest. In this piece, the interplay of light and shadow across the right angles is enhanced by rotating the traditional building elements and introducing subtle, almost imperceptable, angular features.
