  1. Boot Bench

    Here is my attempt at a bench I found on another woodworking site. It is constructed almost entirely out of home made maple lumber. The back is T&G cedar. The base is finished with a latex whitewash and two coats of spray on varnish. The seat is finished with two coats Teak oil finish, five...
  2. Shabby Chic Cab

    Just good ole Shabby chic. Base coat of barn red. Coat of poly to seal it. White wash finish over top
  3. Kitchen shelf

    My wife wanted a kitchen shelf to hang seasonal decorative dish towels from. I had some white oak left over from a coffee table I had made. Got the shopsmith out and used the table saw, band saw, and drill press to make the shelf. I plained the 4/4 down to 1/2 inch. The arm swings. I white...
  4. Sleigh Bed w/Bent Panels | Custom

    I've build several sleigh beds before, but this is a first with truly bent panels. During the planning phase of this my intentions were to use a vacuum system and form to make the panels. After the customer sent a cardboard pattern of the post and gave me some measurements. I determined that...
  5. Reclaimed Pine Outdoor Table

    I made this outdoor coffee table from old pine planks i recoverd from a previous project. The wood somehow has a story. The planks came from an old garden house wich my dad re-used to make a doghouse for our dog. When our dog had his age and passed away, we decided to keep chickens in our...
  6. Serving tray

    A small serving tray I made for my girlfriend (now fiance!). For some time we had been in and out of shops where they sold all sorts of nice trays and goodies. And every time I'd say; "We don't have to buy that, I can make that." But half a year later we still didn't have a tray. It was time...
  7. White Wash Murphy bed | Custom

    This is a Murphy Wall bed that I built using Maple wood and finishing it with a white wash. Normally I finish it in a Whitewash or Pickling stain. The problem with that is it is very thick and has a fast drying time. Since it starts drying it is real hard to get a non-streaky finish. This...
  8. Horizontal Murphy Bed w/Sofa| Custom

    This is a Horizontal (sideways) murphy bed that was built using the Alpha Spring system. I call this version my Templeton. It has kind of a shaker look to it. Sofa I built a sofa in front of it. The cushions can be removed and the bed folds down over it. Normally I have arms built onto the...
  9. The Coffee Bar Project - Recycled Scandinavian Minimalism

    I needed a piece of furniture for my Pavoni Espresso machine and other coffee machines that I have. After trying to locate a quick fix second hand in the right height, I realized that I would have to build it myself to get what I wanted. The idea was something simple and robust to withstand...
  10. Finishing
    Ok so I have a question, that may just be as simple as giving it a try. I am making rustic flags for customers and I have a request that combines half of the American Flag and Half Honduran flag. This flag includes charring to give it a rustic look. I was wondering has anyone ever white washed...
  11. Designing Woodworking Projects
    I have a whole bunch of cigar boxes that I use for storing small items like nuts and bolts, screws, nails, etc. They slide into a rack mounted on the wall. The rack is in good shape, but the cigar boxes, being made of cardboard, are starting to fall apart. I want to replace them with wood boxes...
  12. Finishing
    Greetings and salutations, I'm building a book case out of pine. It's been a long time since I worked with pine. I'm not certain if its a white or yellow pine but I think it's white (it's quite soft and white pine is indigenous to the Pacific NW I think). I want to give it an interesting...
