3. Heartpine live edge shelf Updated May 24, 2022

   This plank had split at a heavy pitch concentration becoming someone else's scrap wood. Add a dado and a little planing / scraping, and it's another shelf. A lesson learned previously - add mounting holes AND counterbores before assembly

5. End Table Updated May 11, 2021

   Hope Everyone is doing well. New workshop will be delivered end of the week. Hoping to have it set up by mid summer
   I have been getting racks and shelving made to get a jump on a few things. The Mrs wanted a new end table
   I used Hard Maple for this after a light stain I top coated with 4 coats of wipe on poly which was very forgiving.
   I did use my new Tabletop planer on the legs.Got it done by Mother's day so I slipped by on that one

    4 pages of plans...delivered by Moose &  Squirrel Delivery Service.   Finish is Gunstock stain/ BLO , then a couple coats of poly clear gloss.   Casters were added to the feet after it had been hauled up the shop stairs.

14. Cherry desk Updated April 3, 2020

    My second (and last, I hope) desk in the past 12 months or so. This is a library style with an extra wide keyboard tray to accommodate the full width KB and mouse I use. This one is for the main computer in the house and replaces a humongous roll top desk we bought probably 20+ years ago. It's absolutely too large for the current house and will disassembled, maybe I can salvage some of the wood for re-use. Anyway, with almost all our information being filed electronically, there seems to be little need for a double pedestal desk anymore, so I chose this style. With the exception of the tray bottom, it's solid cherry. They tray is 1/2" cherry ply. The drop down hinges are butler table style, and they had to be exposed slightly on the front. The desk is styled (sort of) to match another piece in the same room.

17. Shaker Style Table, with drawer Updated February 16, 2020

    Made from leftover Ash boards.   Tried to line up the grain in the top, drawer front, sides so they wrap around, legs are tapered on two inside faces.  Keeping with the "Leftovers", the handle was also a leftover.
     
    Top is 3/4"  x 14" x 25" counting bread board ends. Table stands 23" tall.   Drawer used half blind dovetails in the front, and dados for the back.  Stain is called Gunstock, seems to go nicely with the Ash.

22. Shaker Furniture Updated November 19, 2019

    Recently I have taken an interest in building Shaker furnishings, I have always loved it, but I am ready to build it.
    This album will contain all the furniture I will build in the Shaker style.
     
    Virtually any of the items I will be posting in this album are inspired from books written by Kerry Pierce. Mr. Pierce has created a variety of books on the shaker style, the history and culture of the Shaker community, and within the books there are detailed drawings for much of the work the Shakers produced.
    Here is a link to Kerry's site at Kerry Pierce Furniture and here is a link to his books at Kerry Pierce Books in Amazon . I highly recommend the books by Mr. Pierce, they are well made, and well priced as well.
     
    Just one of Kerry's books
    
     
    Thanks for visiting this album, and thanks for looking!
