Norm wanted his rifle to have a shorter stock with attachments that could be added as his son grows into the original length of the gun stock. I had to cut down the stock into three pieces. I then stripped the stock, sanded it and stained it to match the hand grip. I added leather to the extension pieces and drilled holes for screws.

Here is a Rifle case for a friend of mine. He wanted a nice case to house a 22 cal. rifle for his son. It is made out of Birch and Cherry with Leather straps and handle.

A brand new old Secretary cabinet

 

A brand new old Secretary cabinet is finished. This turned out awesome and I am very pleased with the results. Bruce was very happy with my work so he and his wife asked me to refinish their dinning room table. You will see that soon. 

As I was stripping the cabinet I noticed that the wood was Quartersawn Red Oak and it is beautiful.
I replace the left side and re cut and fitted the dovetail joints. I also had to re-glue the bottom door because it fell apart during the stripping process.

 Here are some before pictures of a Secretary cabinet I stripped and refinished. this has been in Bruce's family for many years and wanted me to fix it up for him.

This is a Mahogany table that I refinished in June of 2010.

This Bathroom vanity is made from Quilted Red Oak and Red Oak. The top is an old kitchen wash sink the home owner had in the basement. I had to design the cabinet around the top and did I mention it is very very heavy cast iron.

This Bathroom vanity replaced an old worn out vanity. The cabinet is Red Oak with Shaker style doors and slab drawer fronts. The top and back splash is granite with a fancy bowl sink. Pretty.

I designed and built this music stand for a friend who wanted me to build this for his bride-to-be as a wedding present. She saw it the first time at their rehearsal dinner and was very pleased. More picture of the Music stand soon.
The finished product. I finished the Music stand with Tung oil and Paste wax.
Almost done with the inlay. The butterflies are made from Lace wood, Ebony, Ash, and Walnut.
Here I am trimming the music shelf after the inlay was completed on my newly restored 14 in. Delta band saw from my uncle.
Here is the Music stand neck made out of three pieces of Walnut. The is how the legs will meet the shelf of the stand and will swivel side to side and up and down.
The main piece to the music stand is the third leg of the stand. Here it is clamped to the form and drying.
This one of the legs clamped in the leg form. I steam bent Ash and Willow in a steam box and quickly put them in the form and applied glue on each layer. A Ash and Willow sandwich.

I designed and built this storage system for my children to keep their toys organized. Made from Birch plywood with Birch hardwood face trim. I finished it with Shellac and Paste wax.

Here is a cutting board I made for a friend that is made out of Walnut, Beech, and Cherry hardwood. It measures 24 x 22 inches and is finished with Salad Bowl Finish and Beeswax.

This Oak coffee table was designed and built for my youngest brother-in-law for his house. The table features four built-in coasters and an ice receptacle in the middle for beverages.

The drawer pulls.

These pulls started out as standard eye bolts. I sanded the faces flat and cut the threads off so I could drill a hole in the bottom. I threaded the hole so the drawer front could be attached to the drawer box. I finished it with a few coats of lacquer.

The inlay begins. Time and patience are key while adding an inlay to a project.

I made elongated holes on the wings of the leg to allow seasonal movement of the wood top.

Finishing the sliding dovetail with chisels.

This desk was a commissioned piece for EB who I responded to her post on craigslist. She wanted her dream desk and I deigned and built it using cues from the Danish Modern Furniture movement. It is constructed from Birch and has Ash for the inlays. The finish is Tung oil with rubbed out with paste wax. I used sliding dovetails for the bottom part of the legs and mortise and tenon for the upper part. The legs were glued and doweled for more strength. The top is inlayed with an Ash rectangle and a "x" pattern.
