I'm sure there are Green and Green fans here, but

Just for a minute I thought Red Green, Uh, No.

Yes, I have done a couple pieces that borrow their style. I designed this credenza in ash to match a desk in ash which they did.

I plagiarized their look and added Fulper tile in this little table for a jewelry box.

Side note

Clint Searl

In the credenza, the widths of the drawers at the top are a linear progression such that the Golden Mean is expressed between the left and right. Likewise the heights of the vertical stack follow that rule.

Interpretation

My son handed me a magazine page of a G&G "Bandini" storage bench. Few things were changed (arms, depth of the storage box, straightened back) but all-in-all he was pleased. Cherry with walnut stain and Enduro Clear Poly.

Time to go back indoors and make some more of this attractive furniture. I do like studying your pieces.

Handsome... an heirloom

Here's a sampling

I have done a lot of furniture with cloud lifts and franked joinery, but some of my favorite G&G takeoffs were in a couple architectural commissions I worked on back in the late 70s and early 80s. Here are a couple shots...

The real G&G...

...that I was trying to match.

We are talking about Charles and Henry Greene?

Not the colors green?

We toured the Gamble House in Pasadena when our son lived in LA. A dream trip for me. I was the last one out of every room on the tour. The guide came over and told me they have an artisan tour once a month. Not good for me would have loved to take that.

Here's a piece I made when working at Woodworker's Journal.

Just curious, what home did they design an arch rail and stretcher for? I've never seen that look doing my research before. Maybe I missed that.

Great looking crib, Dick. Your mention of the Gamble House takes me back. Hard to believe that place cost $9,000 to build.

Dick Coers

Right! You’d expect the coach house would have cost that much.

I thought Red Green, Uh, No.

In my shop, Duct Tape is a design element.

$9000 in 1908 would buy $250,000 worth of house today.

Given that most of these were glorified bungalows, little attention was paid to physical plant and all the expense went into presentation. I wonder what sort of living these craftsman made, and who they were.

Two Swedish brothers were prominent in the furniture of the Gamble House.
