This was a Desk for my Sister to fit into a closet she had taken the door
off and wanted to fit into the closet. She is on fixed income and wanted it made as cheep as possible. I used
the $28 birch/maple plywood from HD and used TransTent dye to make it look like Cherry. The top was rubbed out to a
high gloss.

This is one of two Walnut Library Book Shelves that I make for a customer.
This was my first attempt at using veneer to enhance the contrast. You can not really see how this looks from the picture
but the customer was very happy.

This was a Oak Desk stained a dark walnut to match a bedroom set for a friend
of my dad’s. She had moved and lost her built in desk and missed all the
storage for bills and things. This desk is made slightly narrow to fit her bedroom
space.

This is a Marble Maze that my wife saw in a craft magazine and wanted built
for her son that likes toys, age 29. This was more of
a challenge that I thought,
it has many compound angles that have to match other compound angles.

| Birch and Maple Tool Box (Back) |
|
|
|
My wife saw this in one of the Woodworking
magazines and wanted it built for a man’s valet box (junk holder). I told
her it would be too big. I used some scrap birch that had nice grain and curly
maple for the trim and drawer fronts, all from the scrap bin. Well it came out
to big to set on the dresser and too nice for the shop.

This is a
smaller version of the Birch Maple Tool Box that was built to actually sit on my
dresser and hold all the junk items men seam to collect |

This sewing center was made for my wife who is an avid quilt maker and hobbyist. The oak was all from our builder that gave me all the off-fall from stair skirts. The white panels are Tile Board ($9/Sheet) and the top is melamine wrapped in oak. It has one file drawer and several smaller drawers for sewing
accessories. The top is made in two
parts so it can be moved and the base also comes apart in two sections with some screws under buttons.

This is a Queen Anne Sideboard and Cupboard. The customer had a picture
from a magazine and asked if I could build one like pictured. Of course
you know what I said and several months later here it is. It is made
from Pennsylvania Cherry, finished with a Fuhr Antique Cherry dye/stain and top
coated with Fuhr Waterborne Acrylic Varnish. Since the Cupboard does not
have a back it was a challenge to build it solid with no racking. The top
and sides are dovetailed together and all the shelves are in a sliding dovetail.
Once it was glued up it is very solid |
