I had an idea a few years back about the gent saw. And that was that I couldn't stand them, they are so hard to grab the same way every time so you end up concentrating on the cut more than you should. There had to be a better way, some sawmakers give a slight bend to the handle or facets to use...

Most of the time when I am working on a commission I have the client dictating certain aspects of the build. For this project I received a grant and had complete autonomy with the design. It is made from Black Walnut and has typical Maloof style joinery with ebony plugs over the mechanical...

This cherry cabinet with a T.V. lift mechanism was contracted and built to suit measurements given. The doors had book matched panels. The lift mechanism was very quiet and neat to watch. Finished with an oil/varnish. The inside had space for electronics and movie with adjustable shelving...

This is my Lyre Chair design. It is built with Maloof style joinery and sculpting. I tried to make it my own a bit by and added the lyre look as I was fond of the classical Phyfe saber leg chair. I have built them from Myrtlewood, Curly Maple and English Walnut. The first chairs had sort of a...

I received a request from a client o build this crazy headboard. They had a picture of what they wanted it to look like and we ended up making it from solid 8/4 Myrtlewood. When it was all done the thing was massive at over 7 feet wide and 6 feet+ high. I built it like a giant lamination and cut...

I called this one my T.V. chair because the headrest looked like an old time T.V. set. It followed me around the country from Oregon To West Virginia and back before I finally finished it. It turned out Nicely. It is made from Oregon Myrtle and has red micro suede upholstery to compliment the...

My Pirouette side tables look like dancers twirling about the room. These tables are very deceptive and look delicate, but are really quite stable and sturdy. The most recent set was made with walnut and I inlaid aluminum dancers slippers in the top. They are very fun to build and very eye...

This was a commission by a music lover in Portland. It is an Asian style cabinet with cantilevered boxes for stereo components. It is made with 3/4" pre-finished maple ply and trimmed in stained cherry. It was built using a lock miter and dados. I cut it so that the grain ran continuously down...

I recently had a challenge from a fellow LumberJock and youtuber James Wright from "Wood By Wright" to make a shoulder plane. The video was a ton of fun to make and the tool turned out great as well. Enjoy! View on YouTube

This is my wave bench that I designed. It is usually made with contrasting woods. It is coopered and the top is laminated on the sides to give it flare on the sides. I have laser engraved a few of them with a celtic knot on the front stretchers. They are very fun to make and have a lot of...

I had a client that liked my bar stools, but wanted a square base she saw in a picture and also wanted them upholstered. Using the photo I was able to build the base. Upholstering the seat would be easy, I would just build a plate for the backrest to go into like usual and then add a slip...

Sorry about the wait, but it is finally done. This cabinet has been a fun experience, especially getting to share building it with everyone. I didn't want to mark it as finished here until I had finished the video. I only had one complete computer crash and two programming errors this time. I...

This started out as a western big leaf maple side chair, one of 5 that I had cut up into parts years ago and stuck back in a corner waiting to get to. This is a shot of one of the original side chairs at a show in Roseburg Oregon called "Sticks and Strands" that featured woodworks and...

My most recent saw, it's a carcass saw with progressive rake so it starts easy but cuts like a beast. It has my now typical scalloping on the brass back.

I started making backsaws last year and love doing it. I was inpatient and made the backs form mine out of wood. I have used them in creating my cabinet and bench and they are a joy to use. Recently I made a video about how I make them. View on YouTube Since the wood backed ones I have...
