I've just delivered this book stand to my college library rare book room. It now sits in the front large window of that room where it can be seen from the general library space. I was asked by the chief librarian to design something original and representative of the creative design environment our college is. These photos are of it in the finish room of our fabrication lab where I teach different sections of woodworking and furniture design to students in Interior Architecture and Industrial Design. CNC created aspects of this piece include the VCarved quotes cut into the two stretc

I'm pleased with this bowl for several reasons: . The white oak was rescued from a lumber sawyer's waste pile . The wood works wonderfully well. . I happened to hit the right spot to get the crotch part centered in the bottom. Finished with golden oak Watco and 2000 grit wetsanding.

A few weeks ago, I build a set of white oak stock racks for a lady in our church which I stained cherry and put a spar finish on. They turned out well and matched the truck to a "T". Her brother saw the racks and decided that he also needed a set and wanted them painted black. Couldn't believe my ears but I took the job. Here's the before and after so I have to ask, "Is the customer always right?"

Someone in one my FB groups posted a picture of a "skeleton" clock. I didn't know what that was until after I did some research. I guess all it means is that a person can see the gears. The one I saw was on a pedestal and it was very nice looking. I need a demo for June and had a little different vision for one. When I do a demo I will make several of an item to make I have it down. So far I've made four of these, no pictures of the first one. It was just to figure out dimensions and diameters. Let me know what you honestly think please. This is the second I did, it is very simple and ver

These cases are 78"H X 36L X 11" deep and cleated to the wall with a french cleat. -
Well, I just returned from installing the two bookcases that I've been babying for the past three weeks. The new owner was thrilled to death to have them and I was thrilled to death to get them out of my shop. They stand 78" H X 36"W X 11" D and because of their height, I secured them to the wall with a french cleat. Now on to the next project.

This is a storage bench I made from a tree that one of my brothers cut down at his home. It took me three years to build it, mostly because I'm disabled and have had 11 surgeries in that time with one more on my neck coming up. I had to make the drawer out of white oak because I ran out of wood from the tree. I glued a bunch of scrap oak I had sitting around, I made sure the grain on the front of the drawer matched. I used hand cut dovetails for the drawer. Router cut dovetails for the seat box. I used through tenons on the side and arms of the bench. I also used pegs for the slats to make sur

I have had these two jobs on my board for a while and just seem to keep pushing them back. Saturday morning I got up early and headed to the shop to get some of these small jobs finished and out. I had a customer bring me a rocker that had broken on his old family rocker and ask if I could make a new one to match. He is going to stain to match the rocker and install so I just need to get it cut, smoothed and the mounting holes cut right for him. Here is the old one and the new one clamped to it. I also had this old rocking chair that is over 100 years old to make new rockers for. The

About a week ago I had a friend tip me off about a barn full of lumber that a lady wanted to unload. Long story short, I bought about 800 - 1000 BF of ash, walnut, maple, cedar and quarter sawn white oak. There were several walnut 8/4 and 12/4 boards 12 foot long that are going to make some fine, fine challenge coin displays. Here's a picture of two van loads of walnut and maple. I unloaded about 100 BF of white oak into my barn and I figure there's about 200 bf of walnut in this pile. A big shout out to my BIL who has a nice big pole barn to store everything I can't handle. The picture
