Custom Order Ask the ArtisanA celebration of the untamed spirit of the American West, the Pursuit of the Spirit Buffalo console table is a masterwork of symbolism and fine craftsmanship. Handcrafted from a stunning blend of bloodwood, wenge, walnut, and cocobolo, this piece tells a story in every grain and inlay.
At the heart of the design is a dynamic scene of buffalo in motion, expertly inlaid across the apron, pursued by a single arrow, evoking themes of resilience, strength, and ancestral reverence. Rich, dark legs frame a lower shelf with contrasting inlays, offering both beauty and function.
This one-of-a-kind table is not just furniture, it’s a statement of heritage, artistry, and the enduring power of the wild.
Inspired by the history of the Old West, Mike designs and builds furniture that reflects the lifestyle of the working cowboy. With his love of art, Mike enjoys creating one of a kind pieces that often take on a whimsical look and almost always tell a story of the past. I sometimes use vintage items such as Winchester ammunition boxes, fishing lures, etc. in my pieces. It is a great way to preserve such items and the history that goes along with it. Mike’s clients get the connection and can relate to its story. Mortise and tenon joinery, along with dovetails, are a common construction method used in his pieces. His award winning designs combine different wood species to give his work a unique and subtly warm feel. Mike, along with his high school sweetheart Jo, live in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley near historic Stevensville, MT. They have two daughters and four (going on 5!) grandchildren.
