Here are a few pictures from some recent carpentry projects...
Yellow Pine Cabinets (for my brother's master bath) - from Plain 2x Lumber
Wood Worker Table
The top is made out of 2 inch thick hickory, with a 3x2 apron mitered at the corners. The legs and feet are made out of 3x3 walnut.
Walnut Bow Cabinet
Hand rubbed with 15 coats of finish
This cabinet is made of solid walnut, the sides, top, bottom, face frame, doors, and crown all came out of the same log. The eight door panels are sequence cut boards and have nice burling. The back of the cabinet is birch bead board.
This cabinet hangs in the foyer of my home and houses all of the archery gear
Keepsake box
Made from Lacewood with Cocobolo accents
Master Bath Vanity
Made from a black cherry tree that I logged, milled, and air dried.
The doors and drawer faces are raised panel, cope and stick construction. The doors are full over-lay and have European style concealed hinges.
This cabinet is in the dressing area of the master bath. One of the features that I wanted was to be able to house the dirties and be able to sort them with ease. I came up with the idea of pull out shelves custom fit to the laundry baskets to solve this problem. Both shelves have full extension ball bearing slides and edged with solid maple for strength and durability.
This is a close up of the custom black cherry edge top. It is made of solid cherry edging with a 1/4 inch ogee profile and the top itself is a high pressure laminate. The back and side splashes have the same profile cut into them.
The last major feature is the dove-tailed, solid maple drawer boxes, with self closing, full extension slides.
Master Sink Base
Cherry with Purple heart inlays
This cabinet is in the Master bathroom and is 36 inches tall (kitchen height). The doors and drawer faces are raised panel, cope and stick construction. The doors are full over-lay and have European style concealed hinges. It features solid cherry face frames, doors, & drawer faces. The doors & drawers have hand cut, pegged tenon, purple heart inlays. The picture frame for the mirror is also cherry and trimmed with purple heart (this is an African wood, and yes it is purple without doing anything to it).
This cabinet like the last has solid maple dove-tailed drawers and full extensions ball bearing slides. Both wall cabinets have 3 adjustable shelves each. The base cabinet has full extension ball bearing pull out shelves on the right and left sides of the sink.
15 x 15 x 48 wall Cabinet
Zoomed in look at hand cut inlays
Sink and faucet detail
The faucet head pulls out and the water stream can be changed from stream to spray
Salt Box
The body of the box is made of olive wood with a rose wood base and an ebony knob. This was given as Christmas gift to my lovely Barbara.
Cherry Band Saw Box
This box was built out of a wild black cherry. The tree comes to me from friends house, it had the top broken out of it during an ice storm so, I logged it and sent it to a mill. This box was made for a friend of mine that lives in Germany and given as a gift.
