Greene and Greene Chiffonier-Inspired Dresser
DESIGN IN WOOD 2018: Each year, the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association produces its juried exhibition, Design in Wood. This year’s show included 26 competitive categories and dozens of interesting pieces. Here is just a thin slice of the many jewels that were found there. For more, go to sdfwa.org.
Wade’s dresser, which won the Fine Woodworking Best in Show award, was inspired by the Greene and Greene chiffonier in the master bedroom at Gamble House in Pasadena. “Instead of the inlay that Greene and Greene used on the doors, I chose a local landmark, Saddleback Mountain. That choice was inspired by its use in a local Greene and Greene style house.”

Another beautiful piece by David. I always enjoy his take on Greene and Greene and his craftsmanship is top notch. I wish there were more pictures here of this wonderful piece.
