Probably my biggest achievement in woodworking to date, it took about 6 months and is made from walnut. http://www.metacafe.com/fplayer/4717101/walnut_dresser.swfWalnut Dresser - For more funny videos, click here I couldn't get the color in the pictures quite right if anybody...

This is a work still in progress. The top has to be flattened and edge detailed and some minor shaping on knee blocks left. It is made from cherry with curly cherry top and curly cherry drawer faces. The shell on center drawer was all hand carved. I have genuine antique hardware that will be...

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...

A highboy has been on my bucket list for years as cabriole leg shaping is something that I really wanted to try. I wanted the highboy to resemble the secretary desk that I built a few years ago so many of the details on the highboy are fairly simple and not highly ornate. I used cherry for the...

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...

I made this scalloped top lowboy in the mid 90's and was never happy with the finish. I posted several times on here about a crack in the top and issues I had with the refinishing results I was getting. Well after several months I'm finally happy with the results. I still have to wait for the...

I just finished this QUEEN ANNE LOWBOY. It's made from air dried walnut and poplar. The fan drawers are a little off the top and don't really belong on this project. I have never seen a period lowyboy with two fans. They usually have a single central fan or no fan at all. But, I wanted to...

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 my take on Roubo's popular bookstand. It's my first attempt and made from Meranti (Pacific Maple). I adjusted the dimensions of the design to suit the dimensions of my left-over stock, 185mm wide. I did some drawings trying to match some of the Queen Anne style furniture already in my...

This is one of my favorite tea tables to make. The one in the picture is in extremely curly cherry. It has a one piece solid top and the entire table is made from wood from the same log set. The legs are very delicate but still beefy enough to stand up to a hard afternoon tea. The color is...

Completed in 1988. This piece accompanies the Bates rocking chair. The footstool is made of walnut. This is straight from Woodsmith. The legs were cut on the band saw and then spoke-shaved and rasped to final shape. My daughter has this piece of furniture as well.

I've been working on this project on and off for 2 years. It was the largest project I have ever undertaken. It has been an incredible learning experience for me and I am so happy with the way it turned out. Yesterday, I took it out for a photoshoot. I brought it back to the spot in the...

The first two desks were designed for my GF's daughters for their graduation. As soon as I posted them, I had two more people order one :) The third one is made I don't know what kind of wood it is. The stripes you see are in the wood naturally, I only rubbed some BLO on it to bring out the...

This is an 18th Century Style Dressing Table. This was built using the same tools, techniques and finish that would have been used in the Year 1750. That means NO power tools, sandpaper or Polyurethane. It does mean hand planes, scrapers and home made varnish topped with Beeswax. Oh, and...

Queen Ava that is! My wife wanted me to build a desk for our 9 year old daughter Ava. She wanted something girly, curvy, simple, yet elegant. So this is what I came up with on Sketchup: I watched and read numerous things on the cabriole leg. Phil Lowe's videos on FWW were top notch. I knew...

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...

Been a while since I've posted anything, so I figured I'd jump back into the game with my latest project. Took about a full year to get it done, since I only get a couple hours each weekend in the shop. (That and some health problems kept me out of the shop for a while as well.) Anyway, this is...

OK OK, So It is complete except the fan carvings which I have been fretting over… I have never done fan or shell carving before, and have been practicing, I'm ready to make the jump to the real thing… So this Highboy is from multiple designs…by Dennis Preston, with modifications to some of the...

Solid Curly Soft Maple. Secondary woods are Eastern White Pine and Yellow Birch. Based on a Boston piece made by Benjamin Frothingham ( a general in the revolutionary war and friend of George Washington). Piece is over 7.5 feet tall.
