| Dear friends; Among the most impressive elements of our Gallery display is our selection of fine furnishings from Dorset Custom Furniture. These custom-made pieces are samples of the creations made by Dan Mosheim and his crew right here in our neighboring town of Dorset, Vermont. Over the last fifteen years or so, many of our customers have had the great pleasure of working with Dan to create the most important furniture in their homes. We know that you're in good hands working with Dan, and we encourage you to ask us questions about his furniture, or contact him directly at his email address below. You can learn a lot about his portfolio by going through his website at http://www.dorsetcustomfurniture.com . While visiting Dan's site, take the time to 'click' on photos and learn the story of the creative processes involved in the furniture. If you really want to see a large selection of work, download his catalogue by clicking this link: Dorset Custom Furniture Catalogue. The pieces you'll see below are ones that we've enjoyed here at our shop, before they found a permanent place in someone's home. We hope you enjoy them as a "teaser" for the kind of piece that might add to your home. You'll find Dan's prices to be highly competitive, and the quality of work is uncompromising. Call with some of your own ideas and needs, and we'll get you an accurate price and time quote. |

DAN'S DINING TABLE
This table is made from three matched boards all more than a foot wide. They're from my Pennsylvania supplier and they have excellent color, grain and figure. The edge inlay is a relatively new pattern for me. It's made from maple, ebony and bubinga. The table overall is about 40 x 80 x 29½" high. |

STUDIO STYLE WINDSORS These Bobbin-leg Windsors work well in both a traditional or contemporary setting. These are painted flat-black, but are available in colors of your choice. Lifetime guarantee on the chairs. |

EMPIRE DELUXE This is a great table. 20" x 42" x 32" high. The top is Champlain Black Vermont Marble. Formed 400 million years ago in the Lake Champlain Basin, it's the same marble that covers the front of Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The base design is actually a measured copy of an antique Vermont table loaned to me by my friend Judd Gregory, a local antique dealer. He thought he might like one like it and left it with me to measure for future reference. When I finished measuring, I just ordered the marble and hauled out the curly maple; we changed a few details and jazzed it up a little. The original was birdseye and mahogany, we added the black. I've also made a longer, more substantial one (52" long) that is in Mahogany. |

AT THE BEACH I made this table as an exercise in shell inlay; no pun intended at first. I want to incorporate more mother-of-pearl and abalone in my work and I have to know how long it will take before I can tell people how much it will cost. Now I know. . . it takes a long time. Also, I hadn't been to the ocean in a while and we have these little shells around the house here and there. . . My mind was just wandering. This is an interesting piece to me; in addition to the shells being a beach reference, the design of the wave motifs make me somehow think of the circus. So if you want, call it "The Circus At The Beach". |

LITTLE TIGER TABLE These boards were cut offs from a 9' dining table we made last year. Really nice and wide with good consistent figure that you can actually feel when you rub your hand over it. The table's (18" x 36"). |
