"I love making tables, they are where people meet to share, to eat, or to argue safely because you’re sitting on the other side."

About the Art

While one-of-a-kind functional and beautifully crafted tables, shelves, bed frames, and trasteros are his mainstay, Mose has branched out to smaller decorative objects. “Somebody left a little 10-inch table saw on the porch one day,” he said. “I don’t know who it was, but I started making crosses.”

Potential Taos county customers are invited to call Rainault and he will bring photographs of his work and discuss the project.

Bio

Thirty years ago, Mose Rainault, a native of Canada, made a piece a furniture at someone’s request and realized that furniture-making was truly the creative and focused activity which could turn his life around. He has been a resident of Taos County now for 36 years. Rainault previously had a shop displaying his work, but no longer shows, except for the Questa Art Tour in August. He also does not have a web page. His commissions since moving to the Questa area keep him busy. Word of mouth from Questa, Taos, and Red River is all the advertising he needs.
