| Another Rock-In-Chair. This one was made with fir trees which does not usually fork. This is one of my favorite rock chairs and I am amazed at the uniqueness of each one I create. |
| Another Reaching For the Light Bench. One of my all time favorites, probably because of the radiating back pieces. |
| An "Aldered State" Love Seat. This is an all time customer favorite. I weave the back branches around the top of the back. A somewhat tedious process, but a rewarding one. |
| LIVE CHAIRS IN EAST HAMPTON I recently completed an installation of two living chairs at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton , New York. I planted two live red maple trees and carefully notched these slightly and attached the back uprights. This will enable the live maples to grow around the back supports eventually enclosing them. The rest of the chair was then built unto these supports. I used species of trees native to Long Island when creating the chair, except for the bamboo used in the back of the seat, which was gathered out of the gardens. Picture below. |
| Another Philosopher's Stone Table. These continue to be a favorite of mine. Finding the two matching front legs can take some time. |
| Another version of a peeled cedar chair. I loved the way this unique back tree wrapped around the side pole. A show favorite this year. |

| HIKING THRU THE ARTISTIC PROCESS Take a hike in the rainforest with Tom Jahns, as he takes you thru the step-by-step process of creating one of his unusual pieces of natural furniture. Tom's favorite furniture pieces are dictated by what he discovers and gathers in the lush Olympic rainforest he calls home. Walk with him thru the process of finding an unusual tree deep in the forest, working with it in his humble shop on the banks of a wild river, to seeing the completed chair on the stage of the Bellevue Art Museum Auditorium. THIS IS A LECTURE THAT WE HAVE GIVEN ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS. TO SCHEDULE A LECTURE BEFORE YOUR GROUP, CONTACT ME AT: |
