This ottoman was commissioned by a couple who I respect and admire as some of the finest craftspeople I know. He is a woodworker without who's tutelage I would still be sinking lag bolts into logs, thinking my work was fancy, and she ranks among the finest of quilters. They have each in their own ways held torches that have illuminated my path as a maker. This ottoman is also a continuation of a design theme that I've been hung on for several years now.
