Hardwood Furnishings at Sup Design
by Peter Schmitdke / photos by Tess Reiss
Martin Dietrich runs his hand over a newly varnished bar top that is propped on a couple of garbage cans in his Sup Design shop. “The wood doesn’t look at all like that when it comes in,” he says. Dietrich points to a dozen or so industrial saws, sanding machines, and planers, and explains how each one contributed in transforming a rough chunk of wood into something that will be a fixture in his client’s home upon which drinks and meals will be served for generations.

Greer Oaks Gallery
Walking into Calvin Greer’s spacious Victorian home, you encounter two of his most highly valued African Art pieces on exhibit: a Benin (Nigeria locale) Oba bronze and a Bamun (Cameroon) fertility figure. The restored Victorian dwelling at 2463 N. Palmer St. is more than a home for people. The Greer Oaks Art Gallery is home to artifacts from multiple art traditions.
