The Oregon Myrtle Wood Live Edge Coffee Table.

Dimension: 52" x 20"

Oregon myrtle (Umbellularia californica) native to Oregon and California is also known as Pepper wood, Spice tree or Bay Laurel. The tree grows very slowly at most 12 inches per year. Size ranges from 60 to 120 feet which means it can take up to 120 years to reach full growth.

Myrtle has beautiful color, spicy aroma, and figure. Even in the same piece of wood colors can range from golden yellow, green, black, brown, tan, and sometimes violet. This piece of myrtle is from southern Oregon.

Malachite is a bright green mineral with copper hydroxyl carbonite. It typically comes from weathered copper ore. Malachite is found in the Southwestern US especially in Arizona.

The finish contains five coats of Tung oil with varnish; sanded after each coat. Tung oil brings out the unique characteristics of the wood.

Pricing depends on the size and type of wood, the amount and type of stone and the the type of legs. Price does not include shipping.

Creating Custom Heirloom Works!

Woodworking started as a hobby and quickly evolved into a business. Carving and turning led to creating “live edge” tables and "live edge" art. Natural Edge Wood Creations began from requests I received to make "live edge" tables for family and friends. I use wood and stone with a sense of architecture, style and imagination to create each work so its natural beauty and qualities flourish. Each piece is an experience in tactile and visual beauty.

I have had an array of experience across many fields. From on-air and management in radio to consulting professional sports teams and broadcast companies including ESPN to photography and woodworking. The common thread in all of them is my passion for what I do!

It expanded in September 2016 when I found a gallery of metal sculpture in Taos, New Mexico. I had been searching for a source to create metal legs that would enhance but not overwhelm my work. I met with the owner and artist, Frank Seckler. He agreed to do custom legs for my pieces. When I showed him my work he asked if I would be open to selling my work in his gallery. The partnership began and has been successful.

I create every "live edge" piece carefully selecting the wood and stone are from sources around the country; Phoenix to Florida, Massachusetts to the Pacific Northwest, Southern and Northern California to Iowa and Ohio. Each piece is meticulously planned from preparation and cleaning to sculpting and sanding to the inlay material and finishing.

In addition to woodworking I have spent over 40 years in the broadcast industry creating entertainment programming. I was one of the pioneers helping to create the Sports Radio format. I own the premiere and highly‐respected Sports Radio consulting firm, RSA Sports International, which was formed in 1992.

I am also an accomplished photographer having been invited to display my work at the Lishui (China) Photography Festival. Four of my pieces were placed on permanent display in Lishui Photography Museum. I have displayed my photography in galleries and private showings in the Pacific Northwest.
