New Project




I have the opportunity to create another really cool project. This one is going to be the top for a kitchen island for a friend of mine. Here is a picture of the incredible piece of wood that will become their island. The second picture is the wood cut to size, fitted so the seam is really tight, and after a few hours work, sanded smooth and flat. Now it is ready for me to take to thier house to be fit and finished.

Raw Material for my next project




I have selected a really beautifull piece of wood for my next project.


This will be made into the top for an island to accent a very high-end kitchen some friends of mine are creating.

Unusual Rustic Side Table


I have been putting my name out there and inviting people to visit my blog, so I had better start posting more of the works I have made.

This one is an unusual side table I made from some old Hemlock boards and some Cambara wood I had left over from a job. There are no fasteners in this project, it is all mortise and tennon, with a few dowels. I try to make my pieces with a minimal amount of power tool use and very few "fasteners". I enjoy comming up with designs that are out of the ordinary and enjoy building the old way.

Thank you for your visit.
