I just realized that I've never posted these chairs to the projects section. I have a YouTube playlist that shows how I made them, from milling the wood to upholstering the cushions. I tried to keep it consistent with the cherry on the horizontal and walnut on the vertical. The tenons are...

A maple dining table for a clients dining room. Very fun to make :)

Here is my Twin Tenon Arts and Crafts dining table. The design is my own, and it was inspired by the work of Kevin Rodel. The table is 74" long x 42" wide, and features breadboard ends with walnut accents. The visual focus of the table is the twin keyed tenons. One distinctive detail on the...

This is a new style finished in December 2011. It was designed by the customer. I've built a mission style Murphy bed for them in the past in black. She came with me with the design and the layout worked nice with a folding table. Most tables added to Murphy beds look like they were just...

This is an Craftsman style corner desk, designed and built with a murphy bed (see LJ Post). As with the bed, the customer designed it and drove in from Natchitoches, LA to finalize everything. Matching Murphy Bed Here are some of the features: -Raised center hutch section -Shallow drawers in...

These are some frames and motto art I made for my wife's birthday. Some include the popular Dard Hunter rose motif. Dard was a famous Roycroft print designer. The longer text is a beautiful quote from Elbert Hubbard's 1906 book White Hyacinths. The book was written over a hundred years ago...

Here are my arts and crafts frames with Roycroft style font and designs. Some are decoration for my healthcare practice, and some are Christmas gifts. Stains range from chestnut Rodda thinned 50%, cherry Minwax, to dark walnut Varathane. Cheers!

This is another batch of QSWO mission style chairs that I finished lacquering last night. Complete with leather upholstery, they are now ready for the kitchen. I hear many people are nervous to try building chairs, and I would encourage them to give it a try. I can't quit.

This is a Mission style Murphy bed that was built in November 2011. I usually build it out of red oak but I guess using quarter sawn white oak is staying more true to the mission style. It is a very beautiful wood. Some other things I did different on this mission project is to do more...

Here is my version of the Arts and Craft Bookcase from Fine Woodworking Magazine. It is from the #179- Sept/Oct 2005 issue by Gregory Paolini. Project plans are available through Fine Woodworking and other sources. I took inspiration of technique, but however, made changes in design and overall...

I used up some of the quartersawn white oak scraps I had laying around the shop that were left over from bigger projects. The pattern for these was in the November, 2006 WOOD magazine. Nice little weekend project. One for each of the kids someday.

I think I first saw it on here where someone had made it and just fell in love with it. My wife and I hit the book store and while looking throw the cycle and wood working mags found it in the Fall 2015 issues #60 of Scrollsaw woodworking. I've done some smaller faces for bird house scroll saw...

Three spoons, I made last year. They are made of linden, and drenched in linseed-oil. I don´t know if they where that fun to carve (lost a lot of blood, rookie…), but it was the best form of meditation I have ever tried. Especially one day; when I was sitting on a small mountain, just me, a...

Here is my craftsman style hall table. It is 14"x28" to fit in an inside 45 degree corner in our front hallway. Our stair railing has square, chamfered ballusters so the style of the table fits in well. The table is quarter sawn red oak with walnut pegs. Construction features include through...

I may be taking a risk here as I quote from the rules… "Yes, I want to post my finished project that is made of wood If it doesn't fit the above description (like ….. projects in progress etc.), either blog it or post it in an appropriate forum. otherwise it will be removed." The snag is that...

I had never built two identical pieces before, so when it came time to make a coffee table for our great room, I thought why not make two smaller tables instead? It makes the room much more flexible. I've always been a fan of both Charles Limbert and the Roycrofters, and I knew that both had...

This is one of my signature Morris Chairs the Arbor Bow Arm Morris Chair with a Bow Ottoman in quartered oak with a dark finish. This piece is now in the Grovewood Gallery here in Asheville for everyone to view. I am hoping someone will have a new chair to bring home soon! Brian Brace Fine...

Here is my version of an arts and crafts front entry door in QSWO. I wanted a door with curved corbels supporting the dentil shelf, however couldn't find one commercially. The side stiles are solid 8/4 stock, while the rails and tapered center stile are laminated from two pieces of 5/4 oak...
