The Western design of John Gallis, founder of Norseman Designs West in Cody, Wyoming, is distinguished by natural and classic contours that are symmetrical and balanced, but never rigid     “What I try to do is to tell a story with my furniture. Using the wood’s natural curves gives a feeling of sensuality.”Norseman Designs West has received eight awards at the Western Design Conference, and was named one of four national winners in the 2004 Design Portfolio Awards competition conducted for the eleventh year by “Custom Woodworking Business” magazine.
