Round Occasional Table Mahogany with ebony detailing 21" high x 28" diameter Figured fiddleback We all need small occasional tables in our homes. They make wonderful use of space between a couch and a chair in the living room, or as an accent piece beside a chair in the study. We usually see a profusion of hall tables or coffee tables, but rarely a round occasional table. This piece is delicately proportioned with simple, yet elegant, lines.		Terry Moore 438 NH Rt. 11 Wilmot, NH 03287 603-526-7770 terrykmoore@tds.net A native of Wales, Terry Moore left school at fifteen with only a year of formal craft training. He joined a London-based rock musical production which, in 1973-74, toured in the United States before disbanding. Moore stayed, settling in Newport. Since 1977 he has had his own shop doing cabinetwork, architectural woodwork, acoustic guitar construction, and making one-of-a-kind furniture pieces. Moore is a member of the Guild of New Hampshire Woodworkers and the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen. Over the past decade at the League's annual crafts fair, he has been awarded Best in Show, the Designer's Award, Best in Wood, and Best Contemporary Work.

Rosewood Writing Desk Brazilian rosewood with maple accents 30" high x 58" wide x 28" deep I consider this desk to be the quintessential Terry Moore style. It incorporates all the details that have become the hallmarks of my work. The string inlay and edge binding, the indented curved center drawer, the hand dovetails and fluted legs work together to produce what I feel is a very pleasing and functional piece.

		Chest of Drawers Fiqured makore, satinwood, and rosewood 50" high x 40" wide x 18" deep This chest of drawers has a slight serpentine shape to the front which, together with the fiddleback figure of the makore, gives the design a pleasing movement. The perimeter of the drawers and top have cross banding of satinwood and rosewood inlay and cock bead. Above the main drawers is a gallery of smaller drawers and shelves for pocket change, miscellaneous items, and display.

One of his pieces is in the permanent collection of The Currier Gallery of Art, and his work has been frequently published. Moore is a founding member of the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association, and he takes an active role in teaching woodworking courses throughout New England.
