Queen made from cocobolo. Finished with HUT EEE wax. I'm not real happy with the hut wax, but it's the only thing I have for larger turnings. Suggestions for alternative finishes welcome!

When we have company, they sleep here. That's my story. You can find mild details and some sketchup drawrings on my blog about this build.

Platform bed for my daughter. Made with maple (some turned out to be curly) with pine accents salvaged from the remodel of a school/theater where she discovered her love of musical theater. A reminder of one of her favorite places she can see every night. The bookshelves are inspired by a...

Went through a phase where I had to build chessboards. I went looking for a nice set of chess pieces in carved wood (hah!). You can spend an arm and a leg for pieces! The squares on these boards are quite large, 2.25" square, so I need big pieces. In the end, I settled for ceramic pieces...

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 is a table I came up with when a buddy gave me some end-grain slabs of black walnut from a downed tree on his property. The only thing I could think to do with them was use them for table tops. This table uses the first of two pieces I received. The belt sander didn't work too well (even...

This is a boat bed that was built for a customer in December 2017. They wanted a queen size version of a nautical theme boat bed that I've built several times before. We took the design that we had for the twin and full and redesigned it to fit a 60×80 queen mattress. We added lights in the...

This is my first attempt at making a chessboard. The project started off as just a chessboard and ended up getting bigger. I ended up designing and making the chessboard with storage box that has two drawers to store all of the pieces. I have not finished the project entirely, I'm still debating...

Customer showed me a photo of a bed that she really liked and asked if i could make it and matching pieces. So i set out and built the queen sized bed as close to the photo as possible. The Queen bed frame has an Asian inspiration with built in drawers along the sides. The matching pieces were...

No it is not broken! This was intentional. The customer wanted a version of the boat bed that was made to look like it had been ship wrecked. There were several techniques that were used. We made the front bow to be removable, made the mast mount at an angle, made cracked side rails, and...

Just a fun project. This was a collaborative effort between my wife and I for the street party she's organizing on 4th June to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. She Photoshopped the image merging the legs from one photo onto another photo of the rest of the body. Then she had the whole...

Here are a couple of bike racks I built for a friend to display his bikes in his apartment. They are made of padauck and hard maple. They attach to the wall with a french cleat. I will post more pics when the get mounted on the wall.

Finally figuered out how to post a project… Built of poplar using Norman Vandal's book as a guide. This one will be black laquered and used as an office chair. Final set of six to be built of cherry with federal blue as seat covers. Construction Pics

This is the last of the community woodworking projects that I had to complete for our street party on 4th June to celebrate our queen's diamond jubilee. One day my wife came home from work with an old oak carver chair from a dining suite. The conversation went something like this: Wife: Can...

I started by purchasing a 3' diameter black walnut log from the late great Simmie Again of Lambertville, NJ. I then took the log to Strimples Sawmill, because this was years before I owned my own sawmills, and lumber company. The top is a bookmatched crotch, the tilt runners are mortised out for...

This I made when getting my upholstery certificate. My wife loves this chair and I have received many compliments on it. It has a maple and hickory frame and the queen anne legs are maple with a shellac finish.

A friend approached me with a design for chess pieces that would be a Christmas gift for her husband. I don't own a lathe, so I was a little hesitant until she showed me some sketches. The pieces are all cubes and shaped based loosely on the movement of the piece. The pawns are 1"x1"x1"...

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...

I finished this bed last winter, but thought I would share with the community. Its maple/mahogany combo, and the headboard is removable from the base. There are no screws in the whole bed assembly except to hold the handles that have been added to the drawers since these pictures were taken...
