Here are some photos of the Ford & Ching Website Launch held at Kim Sing Theater.  Thank you Ford & Ching and photographers TIGERTIGER for the images!  You can see more photos of the party at http://fordandching.com.  Above Hana from TIGERTIGER takes a photo of my 69 leg table.

This is the bottom of my newest table.  The Dragon Table.  It is actually only half of it.  I didn’t finish the other half in time for the launch.  Opps. . . I recovered the 16′ Douglas Fir beams that this table is made of on Alameda St. 2 blocks from my loft.  The bottom is first rendered in 3d and carved with a milling machine.  The legs are connected to the top with hand carved jointery that pierces through the bottom and shows in the table surface.  Finally the top is hand planed, scraped and finished with Tung Oil.  Special thanks to Magenta and Corbin for all of their hard work helping me lift and mill these beastly beams.  I can’t forget Matt Lee who expertly  rendered the bottom in 3d and Will Rollins from 100 X Better for his help milling the bottom.
