Furnishings

Display Case: Because I don't want completed work just sitting around my shop, I decided to build a wall-mounted display case. Actually, this is a work in progress. When completed, it will have glass doors with a carved frame. Cherry and yellow birch, hand rubbed tung oil with paste wax finish. 2007 Studio Display Only

	Cat Perch (Window Table or Plant Stand): This customer wanted a window perch for her cat which, after a move, could no longer watch outside activities. The oak table with square lines to fit with existing furnishings and finished in polyurethane was an instant feline hit! Red Oak, 2006 SOLD


Spice Cabinet: A six-shelf spice cabinet of recycled heart pine was custom fit into an old ironing board closet (3" x 33"). Finished in natural shellac, 2005. SOLD

	Tall Pantry: Made from a recycled school library book shelf, this pantry (seen in the background here) was modified with a back and a custom front featuring closed storage with painted (lower) and glass (upper) doors, an open display shelf and enclosing facade. The pantry was painted to fit into the existing decor. 2005 SOLD (Any future painted work will be subcontracted.)

Toy Chest (or Blanket Chest): The arrival of my first grandson and the need to somehow try to contain the explosion of toys, led me to this activity. But I didn't want just a box that could be bought out of a catalog. For my daughter, I wanted a piece of furniture she could admire and that would fit into the birch furnishings of the room. I hope my grandsons will come to cherish the chest and continue to use it for storage throughout a long life. Birch and birch plywood with polyurethane finish hand-rubbed to a brilliant gloss, 2004


Sofa Table: Living space and lifestyle may demand furniture that suits a purpose, fits a design concept and yet is generally unavailable in the market. This sofa table was created from one such need. To provide a surface reachable from both ends of a sofa that has no room at either end, this table leans into the central seat area, is balanced to accept heavy loading and has a base tongue that slides under the sofa for total security (as well as a sliding extension to hold those coffee cups). The design matches existing furnishings and adds a touch of excitement with the lean into the sofa (center photo prior to finish). Red oak with golden oak stain seal. 2003

	After the purchase of new chairs and a new finish, the table fit right in -- only in reverse.

This curio cabinet was designed for Mom who collects miniature pitchers. Quite plain and with narrow door frame and partitions, the cabinet helps to highlight the miniatures within which may be as small as 1/2 inch.
