  1. Hickory End Grain Cutting Board

    Building a Hickory Dining Table and needed a mental break from that. So I took all my scraps and cutoffs glued them up, cut em, and glued em again! And here you have the result. My favorite part of this project, and any project really, is picking, and matching grain. In this case it was to come...

  3. Built-in Bookcase | Making individual bookcase look built-in| Custom

    This is a custom bookcase I just finished up in April 2017. This is one I built for a local customer. They had an entertainment center that they wanted to match but they couldn't find one to match. We were able to give them the size that they wanted. This one is about 96" wide. The key was...
  4. Pottery Barn Headboard | Custom

    This is a headboard design by Pottery Barn. The customer has the platform and was planning on getting the headboard later on. There is one problem. Pottery Barn discontinued that particular style. They came to us to see if we could fill the void. We did and went one step farther. We added...
  5. Live Edge Bookshelf

    Book shelf made out of solid walnut with zebra wood back accent panels. Shelves have sapwood toward the front edges and the middle shelf still has a "live edge" on it. Zebra wood back panels are book matched. Finished with hand rubbed Tried and True oil finish, a thin layer of seal coat shellac...
  6. Machinist Chest

    This is a machinist tool chest that I made, to give to my Father for Christmas. It is based on a design from Popular Woodworking Magazine. It is made from Sapele for the main body and Beech for the drawer boxes. I book matched the lid and top tray insert. I have three coats of Watco whip on...
  7. From Firewood to Beauty

    A friend came by the other day and gave me some pieces of fire wood from his neighbors firewood pile. I'm not the most experienced turner and this was a real b--to do. I learned a lot of things with this project. This stuff was very punky and very difficult to get a smooth cut with even my best...
  8. Pottery Barn Headboard | Custom

    I've built this a couple times over the years. This headboard was discontinued with Pottery Barn and the customers had other pieces like the platform and wanted to add the headboard later. Since it was discontinued they had a problem. It actually worked out better for them. They got to...
  9. Slatted Platform Bed | Custom

    This is a reproduction of a platform bed that I normally order in. The last pictures shows the original. This customer wanted some storage drawers. Instead of modifying the stocked version, we built it from scratch. I love the design it is a clean look to it. The pedestal is a 12 drawer...
  10. Bar Table

    A friend of mine had four tall bar chairs for the bar counter in his kitchen. Then he moved to a house without a bar counter. So they needed a bar table to go with the chairs. I told him if he would buy the materials I would build it with my labor as a house warming gift. The available space...
  11. Cherry Creek Murphy bed | Custom

    This is a bed that I matched to a style for a customer. They already had a Cherry Creek piece and wanted to match the moldings. I started with my Ross Murphy bed and made the slight modifications. I also matched the colors. The color ended up being a dye stain 50 parts thinner to 1 part...
  12. What I did today

    I made 4 pens and one bottle stopper today. The Bolt Action pens are purple heart and the slimlines are oak and jarrah. I think the bug has got me bad.
  13. Refined Rustic Dining Table in Burr Oak, for a Kansas Flint Hills Stone Home

    This customer wanted something "different" for their beautiful Kansas Flinthill's Limestone Prairie home. We selected Burr Oak for the wood, finishing it without stain. My goal was to use the natural edge on the outside, and find boards that had as much character and as many knots, as I could...
  14. Finishing
    Hello, I am trying to refinish, stain and protect this coffee table. It has been pretty badly abused as you can see from the pictures. There is water damage, scratches and a large burn mark in the middle of the table (long story). It is my boyfriends table and he has another matching piece that...

    Steel Rule on Saw and Tape Measure Not Matching Hello all, I added a steel rule to my table saw fence rail today and noticed that it doesn't match up with my tape measure. When I have it set to 32" both match. However, the closer I get to "0", the greater the difference becomes. I first...
  16. Finishing
    I am building a blanket chest for my cousin and would like to match the stain to his existing red oak furniture. I can order stain from the place he purchased the furniture, but they want $60 a litre (and I'm about $45 too cheap for that). I've been trying to mix stains that I already have to...
  17. Wood & Lumber
    I need to know exactly what this is so I can match it.
