18th Century Connecticut Blanket Chest Updated
This is a chest I made based on an American Woodworker issue that contained the plans to build this chest.
The chest in the issue is a reproduction of the actual chest made by John Wheeler Geer in the 18th century. To see the actual plan set in the American Woodworker issue go to Connecticut Blanket Chest .

Walnut Rocking Chair Updated
This chair is made from Black Walnut. The rockers and backrests are bent glue lams and the head rest is coopered. The curves throughout the chair are power sculpted using a combination of ROS and a right angle grinder with a 60 grit disk and a Kutzall grinder attachment. The entire chair is sanded to 800 and buffed with a 1200 Abralon pad before the first coat of finish is applied.
For design and instructions on building this rocker please visit our friend Hal Taylor .

Shaker Furniture Updated
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!

Sam Maloof Site Visit 2019 Updated
My wife completely surprised me, we just had our 28th marriage anniversary and she loaded me up in the car and we drove to my anniversary present, I had no idea where we were going until I drove us up the main street of the Maloof residence and saw the brown colored historical site street sign that clearly stated "Sam Maloof Foundation Historical Site" and I jumped with joy.
We live within an hour of the Maloof residence and I have never been there, it just seems like there is always something more important to do with our money, it just kind of always get set by the side for a future visit.
It was a wonderful tour, although we were not allowed to take pictures of the inside of the residence, I was able to get a few images of the woodshop, the barn full of walnut slabs and rough boards they still use today, and a fun trip through a couple onsite galleries.

I was asked to build a southwest style kitchen a few years back, and I am attempting to find the images of the kitchen to post here. I hope to have more images soon, this was such a neat project to be involved in!
