Bergeson has produced a body of work that clearly states his ability as a wood worker and a designer. His illusions are noted for their clarity of design as well as his acute sense of color and form.

Henry Bergeson has built a reputation for himself for his fine quality wood work as well as his optical imagery. Bergeson works with beautiful woods, typically Birds Eye Maple and Bubinga. Generally one is used for the main body with the other wood accenting the piece. The wood is finished until it feels smooth, satiny to the touch. Bergeson's work is a delight to hold while enjoying the optical imagery.
