I started building this maybe 3 years ago (time flies) and finally finished it early this summer. Made from plans found in popular woodworking magazine, article by Glen D. Huey. As per the article I think this project was a great intro into building period furniture. Not too complicated as long...

This Desk on Frame was started at Lonnies Bird's School in Dandridge, TN. His plans orriginally called for a frame to have tapered legs and the desk was drawn up based on a period MA desk. I wanted to have cabriole legs so, with Lonnie's help, I redesigned the frame. I used trifed feet so now I...

I made this side chair to go with the Desk on Frame project I posted earlier. This is yet another Lonnie Bird School project. I know many people on this forum are self taught, And believe me, you have my great admiration. But I have loved learning under the watchful eye of a master craftsman...

This project is the nicest thing I've built to date and includes a few personal firsts- handcut dovetails (drawers period for that matter!), cabriole legs, & upholstery. I let myself get intimidated by these things and it ended up dragging out the progress but I'm finally done :-) My 6yr old...

I was asked to make a small occasional table, similar to one posted prior, as shown in the first photo, but with smaller dimensions to accommodate it's permanent location. Taking this opportunity to try something new, I decided to try my hand at off-set turning, also referred to as multi-axis...

This is a Grandfather clock that I just finished at the end of my Junior year in my highschool woodshop. sorry it took me so long to get this one on here. Once again, just like my freshman year nightstand and my sophmore year gun cabinet; the clock was designed and built by myself, following...

This unique pair of Ball and Claw feet were carved for a commissioned wing back chair for a very petite lady. They were carved in walnut and later ebonized. You can see the carving tutorial at my blog by clicking here

Hi All, Well as you can see by the title this is the first of a few projects I plan to post. The only reason I choose this one is it is current. My wife has wanted new living room furniture for a while. We went to Woodworkers Source and she looked over the entrance wall for the type of wood...

I enjoyed making this piece. Show material is cherry. Interior spices is poplar. Drawers are hand cut dovetails. My first attempt at ball and claw legs. Had a lot of fun. Took my time and I learned how to work the wood as the grain changed. Keep those chisels sharp! I have done a fair amount of...

This is my birthday present this year to my wife, only about three months late. This is made of solid walnut with oak accents. Drawer boxes are maple with SYP bottoms. I didn't photograph the back, but it is raised walnut panels. No plywood was harmed in the making of this project. I am...

I had me Wife choose a style for a vanity for me to make over xmas vacation. I was really hoping she'd pick Shaker because of the simplicity, but of course, she chose a traditional design with cabriole legs. Yikes! On the plus side I was "forced" to order a Veritas spokeshave set and some had...

I wanted to try my hand at some cabriole legs and I had some offcuts of walnut sitting around from a project I finished over a year ago. A foot stool seemed a little more manageable for a test project than a lowboy or other classic cabriole leg piece, and given how long it ended up taking me I'm...

Queen Anne Dressing Table Here's my latest project. I got the idea and inspiration while visiting a local cabinetmaker with club members from the "New Jersey Woodturners Association" earlier this year. I joined the club in April and how been wow'ed by them. The guys at the club are one...

Again, another gift for my wife that I've finally gotten good photos of. The chest is all in cherry. I aquired a lovely board that had swirled black sap lines in it. I cut the drawer fronts so that the hardware is centered on the swirls. A 12' by 8" wide board yeilded the five drawer fronts...

This is a reproduction of a 17th century Pennsylvania Dressing Table that I began at the Lonnie Bird School of Fine Woodworking last April. I finally got around to finishing the project a couple of weeks ago. Although I tested it on some left over scrap from the drawer fronts, the stain is...

This desk was a first for me in almost every aspect. I was challenged by the cabriole legs and the Texas Longhorn inlay.
