Ritchie Ellis Art
Original work in wood + resin

Wood, resin, and the character already there.

One-of-a-kind furniture and sculptural forms built around grain, live edge, void, color, and the natural variations that make each piece singular.

Selected work

Furniture & sculptural forms

A selection from two connected bodies of work: live-edge furniture and turned sculptural forms, each developed around the specific character of the wood.

From design to finished form

A client’s proposed shape, realized in wood + resin.

Side by side: the proposed silhouette supplied by the client and the final piece created from that design.

From reference to finished commission

Turning a client’s reference into a finished walnut river tabletop.

The client supplied three reference photographs and asked for a walnut-and-resin tabletop with similar proportions, with particular attention to matching the deep blue resin and the light natural sapwood bordering the live edges.

The reference established the overall form, walnut live-edge character, pale sapwood transition, and the deep blue resin color the client wanted reproduced.

The work
“The marks and variations in the wood aren’t defects to hide. They’re where the piece begins.”

The practice moves between furniture and sculptural turning, using hardwood and resin to emphasize natural transitions, voids, grain patterns, and unexpected geometry.
