Richard Oedel "Wild Rose Console Table," Boston, Massachusetts, 2013, South American rosewood (c. 1950) and ash, signed and dated by the maker, ht. 32 1/2, wd. 71, dp. 17 in. Provenance: From the maker's collection. Exhibited in Made in Massachusetts: Studio Furniture of the Bay State , Fuller Craft Museum 2013-2014. Note: Richard Oedel comes from an engineering and business background. After receiving his degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1976, he went to work in his family's plastics business. Not until he attended the North Bennet Street School, from which he graduated in 1999, did he realize his potential in furniture making. After serving as an apprentice to Jere Osgood, he joined the Fort Point Cabinetmakers, a collaborative of North Bennet Street graduates; he also currently serves as the chairman of the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association. Oedel's particular interest is in American Federal-period furniture, 1790-1820, which he interprets in his own manner. Wild Rose Console Table, however, definitely reflects a more contemporary approach that is also characteristic of his work. The table, while indebted to his training under Lance Patterson and Phillip Lowe, also reveals the impact of his mentor Jere Osgood.
