This set of four movable retail displays was created for The Orchard project in Phoenix. The wood is reclaimed from fence boards and other barn wood and deck wood.

Superstition Chairs
When asked to design and produce outdoor chairs such as the classic Adirondack Chair, I decided to go in a bit different direction. Adirondacks (named for the mountains in New York) I have always thought were too low, too far reclined, and having obnoxiously ground-parallel arms. Plus, anyone can get a set of plans to produce this long-running design – not a unique look.
The right inclined armrest has a place to set a drink securely.
Since these chairs are for Phoenix, the Superstition Chairs take the name of the local mountains. In a modern fusion of steel and wood, these chairs borrow from the language of the Adirondack chair but sit more upright and with a higher seat – making it easy to get in and out of. I built this set of ten for The Orchard project.
Superstition Table
This modern, minimalistic picnic table is a marriage of oiled redwood and welded steel. Table is 72″ long. A pair of these tables were designed and constructed for The Orchard project in Phoenix.
Barn Table + Benches
I made two sets of this original design for a table and benches, for The Orchard project in Phoenix. They are composed of reclaimed redwood deck boards. The tabletop is 36 x 96″, with two 72″ benches and two 36″ benches.
STRATA Desk
A massive custom desktop composed of various scraps of wood left over from other projects – primarily cedar, douglas fir, oak, and redwood.
DIG Mirrors
The DIG Mirror comes in three sizes, each made from a water main component called a ductile iron gland or follower ring, which I sourced at my local salvage yard. They are for sale at Revised in Prescott.
Wheel Mirror
This found object from the local salvage yard gets new life as a 24-inch mirror. It can stand freely on top of a dresser or console table, or be wall-hung. For sale now at Revised in Prescott.
Toboggan Bench
I found this toboggan in rough shape at our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore several years ago. I had consequently stored it away both in and out of doors, taking up storage space between two moves and filed away on the mental heap of good intentions.
I found it again a couple nights ago, which was good timing, because it seems fall in Prescott got short shrift (despite some long-lasting and glorious foliage for once) and we are off to the races for winter. Cold temps and snows are upon us.
I hope whoever purchases this bench (or long coffee table, if you prefer) will be able to enjoy this winter artifact all year round. Stout black iron pipe legs make the sitting height very comfortable.
To get the necessary rigidity for the bench, a piece of reclaimed scaffolding plank was added to the underside of the sled. This piece is for sale now at Revised, in downtown Prescott.
SixTop Modular Table
I was challenged to build a table that could seat 12 people at once or break apart for seating pairs at six separate sub-tables. This plywood and steel 6-foot square table now resides in the upstairs room at The Barley Hound, Prescott’s gastropub.
This white wall will be a periodically-changing canvas for different invited artists.
The assembled banquet table seats three to a side.
Clean modern sensibility meets funky old bones (including stained glass) of this historic home on Cortez Street in downtown Prescott, Arizona.
The table with one section removed. The square of tubular steel in the tabletop more than just aesthetic; it is a linkage circuit of sockets and drawbars to hold the assembled table together.
One stand-alone table for two – or more.
Beautiful distressed (semi-restored) wood floor in this very old house-turned-restaurant.
Offset L-shaped legs mimic the fragmented parts of the steel square in the subtables.
Edge-grain plywood with stain.
John Hancock Barbershop
John Hancock Barbershop in Prescott had opened for business in a small existing barbershop in late 2014. Even though it has an obscure location, accessible by an alley, owner Grant Quezada had established a strong customer base and needed to expand for more room to work, doubling the size to accommodate four barbers.
Anastasis was able to rehab the adjacent ground-floor unit and open up the wall to allow for a dedicated waiting area, shampoo room, and barber room, as well as a point-of-sale counter and retail displays.
