As time allows, I occasionally make non-commissioned pieces. This may be for a number of reasons:

1. • the piece is designated for exhibition,
   

2. • to take advantage of economies of scale, or
   

3. • if I am between commissions.
   

Those pieces are exhibited here, and are available for sale. If you are interested in a particular item, or you see something that you would like me to reproduce, contact me at john@jleko.com.

Based on a variation of a Shaker candle stand, this small occasional table is embellished with a “modified” compass rose in its center. It received its name when the intended destination did not turn out. I reworked the top to include the marquetry emblem, and decided to send it off in a different direction. This petite table is an ornamental gem!
