13. SIRGPE_041008_015.JPG: Stephen Courtney, Secretarial Desk (1998). Maple, copper leaf, copper-plated cast bronze, glass, leather, and golf tees.
14. SIRGPE_041008_030.JPG: Mara Superior and Roy Superior. Aqua Vitae. Painted birch plywood and pines with 23k gold leaf, bone glass, metal, and porcelain.
15. SIRGPE_041008_038.JPG: Wendell Castle, Desk with Clock 2. Coachwood, mahogany, patinated bronze, and leather.
16. SIRGPE_041008_052.JPG: The Ghost Clock. When I was here this time, I tried to explain to tourists visiting the museum what the major pieces they had to see were. Included were the Game Fish and of course the Ghost Clock. The lady said she had been curious about the clock but was disappointed to find it under a piece of cloth so she couldn't see it. She didn't realize the cloth was part of the same wood.
17. SIRGPE_041008_067.JPG: Jacob Cress, Oops! When he tires of making replicas of antiques, Cress constructs what he calls "animated" furniture. The sly chair is made entirely of crooks and curves. There is not a ninety-degree angle anywhere. Mahogany.
18. SIRGPE_041008_087.JPG: David H. Merrifield, Tea Cabinet. Steel and cherry.
19. SIRGPE_041008_112.JPG: Rory McCarthy, Dining Table. The dining table with spiral motif includes a bowl, salad fork and spoon, salt shaker, pepper mill, cruets, carafe, and candleholder. For more intimate dining, the center section can be removed and hung on the wall as a piece of sculpture. McCarthy brings powerful craftsmanship and creative expression to everyday objects. He transforms the commonplace into art. Padauk, wenge, imbuia, bubinga, shedua, glass, Plexiglas, and aluminum.
20. SIRGPE_041008_130.JPG: John Cederquist, Chaise Marlin. Cederquist's furniture explores color and imagery rather than practical function. His diverse influences include California beach culture and the spatial qualities of Japanese woodblock prints and Disney cartoons. With visual tricks and perspective, he blurs the distinction between reality and illusion. The slats of the lounge refer to broken crates that wash up on the California coast from as far away as Japan. Baltic bitch plywood, maple, poplar, and aniline dye.
21. SIRGPE_041008_152.JPG: Tommy Simpson, G.W. Cabinet. Simpson is known for his witty interpretations of Americana. As a boy, he had the not-too-happy experience of playing the role of George Washington in school, probably uttering the line, "I cannot tell a lie." He shaped the cabinet like the trunk of a cherry tree complete with a chop mark. The ax acts as a handle to open the door. On another level, the form recalls the tiny plastic candy dispensers popular with children in the 1950's. Poplar, basswood, metal, and gold foil with oil-based glaze.
22. SIRGPE_041008_165.JPG: Richard Ford. Uncle Rick's Wonderland (1997). Inspired by animated cartoons, Ford instills his functional furniture with wit and outlandish humor. He combines utility with the universal language of humor to connect with a wide audience. His work is distinguished by its play with form, concept, and color. Painted poplar with mirror.
23. SIRGPE_041008_191.JPG: Tommy Simpson, "Kiss the Cook" (1992-93). Maple, oak, lacewood, cherry, walnut, mahogany, and bone.

2004 photos: Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
