This was a commission for a pair of medieval Glastonbury chairs. Removing the wedges from the through tenons allows the chairs to break down into about 17 pieces each for ease of transportation. Notice that I do not say ease of assembly…..

This is a reproduction of a medieval German fauldstool commissioned by a harpist. The seat is actually a little lower than a normal seat so the he could lean the harp back against him to play.

These are pictures of a display box made for a friend. They sell nick knacks and jewelry of the medieval period, and the box had to represent the period also. It was built so when closed the necklaces and hanging jewelry will stay on the dowel side and the plywood divider keeps the other stuff...

I decided to build a pair of reproduction "Glastonbury" Chairs. The original (now lost) was made in the 15th Century for the Bishop of Glastonbury. Made mostly of straight pieces of timber, it can be disassembled to move the chair or to pack it up. My work was loosely based on measured...

As a second hobby I am a member of a group that does medieval reenactment, every year we give a members appreciation gift to the individual that has shown the most growth and or dedication. Traditionally I have been asked to construct an appropriate gift. The deserving member this year is...

Most of the Japanese toolchests I make follow the pattern established by Toshio Odate, which makes them very traditional, but very modern. So what were Japanese toolchests like in the medieval period? Similar in some ways, but a lot less sophisticated. In the fourteenth century illustrated...

This project first took hold when my cousin who's involved in the SCA came over talking about wanting a box for all her armor. I threw out a few ideas , and told her I'd do some research on what period chests looked like. I found this great place online showing all sorts of chests from the...

This is from the "I CAN DO THAT" series from Popular Woodworking. There is an error in the plan… If you place the bottom shelf where they tell you, there is too much room at the top for the cantor to be placed correctly. After I cut the parts out, I use a router with a 1/4" round over bit to...

This is a recent personal project - I have a tenancy to pull off some rather, how best described let's see … well overkill is a good way to describe it I guess … My father finally decided it was time to sign off on my "Masters" certification - which officially proclaimed that I have the basic...

This is what happens when I don't have pressing projects to work on and I feel compelled to make shavings, regardless of the outcome. In any case, it's good "me" time, and it's been great practice using planes for freehand shaping, rather than mere flattening and smoothing. I've always been...

This piece follows the same theme as our other New Wavev Gothic Dining Table - only this one was done in solid American Black Walnut. The table is part of a set with a matching server and two corner units, we'll post those shortly. Please visit my "projects" section for more images of this...

I made this of recycled oak (formerly a heavy equipment pallet) as the prize for the heavy weapons tournament at my reenactment group's "White Mare's Bones" event this past summer. No metal at all, it's glue and peg construction and wooden hinges. The last picture shows the happy winner with his...

This is a half scale replica of a 15th century writing box. It's made of maple with walnut pegs. The only metal is the iron hinges and the brass locks. I made this as a cash/check in box for my reenactment group (SCA) I also made a second one with latches instead of locks as a portable work desk...
