2. New Kitchen Island Updated June 30, 2020

   The Boss wanted a new Kitchen Island, as she thought we had out-grown the old one...She wanted a taller, larger, shinier Top.  A better place to store all the baking sheets and pans, and a taller shelf to store her pop bottles under...AND....be able to roll it out of the way.  Once she found a picture of what she wanted, I could start in....took most of the month of June....
    
   Started with a large stash of 1 x 6 boards of Ash....got tired of all the glue ups...middle shelf is 3/4" pine plywood.   She wanted a single WIDE drawer.   1 x 6 Ash for the drawer front, 3/4" pine for the sides, and back of the drawer.  1/4" Luann plywood for the drawer bottom.
    
   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.

4. 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.

7. 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.

12. 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!
