Bar height live edge table built and delivered for a patient client. The live edge slab is Parota and the legs and stretchers are built from Red Grandis.

All the joints are knock down so the table can easily be taken apart for transport if needed.

We installed this built in earlier this week. It’s amazing how well it both fits in the room and how it enhances the room.

The design brief was to cover the entire wall, left to right, floor to ceiling, with cabinetry, unlike the original built in which had a large border of wall all around it. The design also called for minimalist slab doors with little hardware.

The doors and drawers fronts are rift sawn white oak veneer and have been laid out so the grain flows from one door to the other. Push hinges were used on the doors in lieu of hardware. A simple push on the door and it swings open.

The finish is “amazing gray” with a glaze applied to highlight the grain and then sprayed with a clear top coat.

The textured panel in the open cabinet happened after my client saw some textured doors in my workshop and figured out a way to incorporate it into the design. A dimmable LED light highlights the texture pattern The pattern gives the impression of water, which is appropriate as the house is on a river which this room overlooks.

There is so much more I could say about this project, the discussions and journey the design took to get to this point and the great clients I got to work with on this project. Hopefully the pictures will make up for anything I may have missed.

It was a challenging and enjoyable project and I’m pleased with how it turned out.

In between the cabinets and built-ins we do the occasional small job. Over the years I’ve often been suprised at what I’ve been asked to make. This fun job was no exception.

The ballerina will be used as a table decoration at a young girls birthday party. She will be placed in the center of the table and the table cloth will complete her “tutu”.

One of my clients saw some textured doors I have on some of my workshop cabinets. She found a way to work the concept into her design.

This will be the back of an open cabinet. It will be painted white, in contrast to the grey rift sawn oak the rest of the interior of the cabinet. The texture will be highlighted with an LED light.

I’m looking forward to seeing the effect!

Some exciting news!

Shopbot Tools, the manufacturer of my CNC router approached me about using images of some of my projects in one of their advertisements.

I’m honored they thought highly enough of my work to showcase their product.

My CNC is such an important part of my workshop, it’s great to be able to return the favor.

One of the more satisfying aspects of what I do is to see something we’ve built adding both beauty and function to someone’s home. It’s nice to see a piece being used.

We installed this project yesterday and early this morning I received a thank you email from my client along with this image.

The bookcase was designed and built around an existing piece of furniture.

“Stunning. So excited. Better than expected”.

It’s so gratifying to hear words like that from a client. We put in some long hours to get this project built and installed before a special family event. Soon after we finished cleaning up my client left for the airport to pick up family members flying in from overseas. Just in time!

The display shelving features an open space in the center for a wall hung TV. On the right side is a gas fireplace clad in shiplap. The right panel of the cabinet housing the fireplace can be removed, providing access to the gas line if needed.

Small spot of paradise in the Florida sunshine. We just finished installing a cedar tongue and groove ceiling in this lanai. A project like this is outside of my normal scope of work. After building a wine rack for my client he approached me about installing this ceiling. It sounded like a fun project, so I agreed to do it.

He has been working on the pool area for the better part of a year and, after the installation of the ceiling, it is nearly complete. He told me that we had exceeded his expectations on both this project and the wine rack. Very gratifying to hear that!

We are busy with a live edge bar table. These images show the slab and legs prior to glue up and finishing. The table can be disassembled easily for transport due to the half lap dovetail joints and tusk tenon and wedges.
