The Foster Wallace Butt Bench
$1,352.00

Cherry legs and seat with black walnut mitre spline joint. Hand carved one size, fits all butt grove. Doweled maple foot level shelf set at random angles.

A place to sit and ponder. One position on the bench is arguably more comfortable than the rest so get there late if you need an edge in the conversation.

“There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says "Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes "What the hell is water?”
- David Foster Wallace

Available in variations


The Vonnegut Rolltop Desk

Black Walnut dovetailed top and solid bent laminated legs with cherry tambour.

This is a writing desk but I think of it more as a thinking desk. Throw your ideas onto the page or a screen then roll the top down to get some distance if need be.

“All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist.”
- Kurt Vonnegut

Kerouac Bar Stool Walnut Maple - Forest Tate

The Kerouac Bar Stool

Finger joined black walnut with maple spline.

A simple and sturdy stool to belly up at the kitchen counter to sip a smoothie or to down a couple to drown your frown.

“I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling.”
- Jack Kerouac
