Modern furniture designer/maker Loyd Parker combines art and function. He uses the skills and insights gained from his training in sculpture and furniture making, and his study of modern art, design and furniture history to create his unique furniture.
Well-defined intent, practical design and precise fabrication are the three principles that characterize his furniture. He takes delight using the juxtaposition of contrasting and dissimilar materials.
He describes his design and building method as ‘Mid-Tech’-the use of traditional and innovative technology combined with a diverse material palette. He employs new and old, natural, man-made, salvage and found objects and a complete catalog of sustainable (green) products to create his imaginative furniture.
With his subtractive design process, all ideas (the good, the bad and the ugly) are considered and open for discussion. Then, by eliminating the unusable ideas, the design is refined. Collaborating with clients, designers and other artists, he finds, enlivens and complements the design process

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Hello Loyd,
Welcome to LJs. I hope that you will find this to be an rewarding and informational aspect of your woodworking adventure.
