John McNaughton
Ken Richards - Collector's Stand

Featured Artist - John McNaughton

John is a self taught Oregon woodworker who embraces contemporary design coupled with meticulous craftsmanship. He draws on his vast experience creating everything from interiors of cars to kitchen cabinetry to create pieces that serve both a function and are aesthetically pleasing.

Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement, he currently focuses on fine furniture designed to last generations.

"Furniture that is beautifully made allows us to relax and live more fully in our homes and work spaces."

More of John's work can be seen in his gallery.

The legs are fluted and sit on holly feet
with ebony "ankle bracelets". The drawer pulls are hinged pendants I made of
sterling silver with holly discs I turned
on a lathe.

Collector's Stand

This piece was designed to display a collection of small, precious objects – including antique pens, interesting knives and small sculptures. I tried to create a piece with the same level of delicacy and detail as the pieces it would display.

The piece was designed for a corner location but I detailed out the back sides also – so it can also work in an open space or as a room divider. A number of people who saw it in my studio said they actually think the view from behind is one of their favorites.
