When it comes to fitting out cabinetry and furniture, there are a lot of choices for handles, drawer pulls and other hardware. If you can’t find that perfect something, we can help. Hand wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metal creations by MZ3D can pair beautifully with what we build in wood. When you’re stuck, let us help you get a handle on it!
Second Chances
If you’ve ever seen a majestic old tree being cut down, you know the pain we feel in losing all that oxygen, shade and visual beauty. What good can come from this? Sidewalks and foundations not being uprooted, improved views, a new tree planted (hopefully) and sometimes, an heirloom piece of furniture created.
Torrey pine, palm, and red cedar are some of the beautiful local woods we’ve worked with at MZ3D.
What would be a fitting tribute or keepsake to extend the life of a favorite tree or piece of wood? Please save it so we can make something that lasts and tells a wonderful story for your grandchildren.
Joinery to Jigsaws
If you haven’t been to the Del Mar Fair Design in Wood show this year, put it on the calendar for 2015. The show is attended by thousands and for some people, it's the only reason to brave the crowds and craziness of the fair.
The variety of woodworking displayed, as well as the level of craftsmanship is impressive. From wooden kayaks, to exquisitely carved animals, to modern furniture, the pieces in the Design in Wood exhibit will dazzle your senses. In addition there are live demonstrations of chair making, model shipbuilding and toy making.
Roberto has had pieces in the show for the last 5 years and finds it is a great way for people who otherwise would not find him through MZ3D to see his work.
This year, one of his pieces has gotten a lot of attention — it is best decribed as an ottoman, but it can also serve as a coffee table and a storage area. Half of a wine barrel with a handsome and comfy leather cushion on top is the basis for this design.
Many people have asked, “Does it rock?” This question has given us all kinds of ideas for the next iteration... stay tuned. No, it doesn't move, but we think it really 'rocks!'
Visit Design in Wood and look for the pieces made by Roberto Mendez! Lastly, don't forget to vote for your favorite piece at the show.
On the Slab
It is exciting to work with an huge tree section. Along with knowledge and respect for the material, we’ve got everything from forklifts to chisels in our toolkit. As the Six Millon Dollar Man says, “we have the technology,” and we’re not afraid to use it.
Come see what’s in the woodshed today, and let's get started on your showstopper table, headboard or desk!
Parlor Tricks – Furniture that Moves
Murphy beds aside, there is something magical about furniture that moves or morphs.
Tables that raise and lower, extend and rotate. Speakers that adjust angles with the touch of your remote. Screens that appear out of blank walls, cabinets and bedside tables. We have not only designed these items, but installed them and made sure they really work.
Whether you are trying to combine an elegant coffee table with a lazy susan, make your bedside table into a desk, or just impress your friends with an amazing multi-use audio visual room, we can make it look beautiful and function effortlessly.
Let us show you a trick or two with a custom piece that moves (for) you!
