I'm Showing in Calgary this week

     Larry Dugdale, a businessman and friend from Calgary, convinced me to go west and put on a show at the Iron Crow Antiques in Calgary starting tomorrow.  Larry and his family have been coming to Prince Edward Island for more than 15 years - they came to my studio for the first time a year and half ago.
     So if any of you following my blog are in Calgary please stop by.

Large Stepback Cupboard

      I picked up this dresser last week and turned it into a stepback cupboard.  It's the widest dresser I've ever come across.  I like the detail on the front sides so I did the top sides to match.  I got the drawers sliding good - that's always an important goal of mine.

 Here's my building process...

Mark Butcher Coffee Table

     One day a while back I had quite a few antiques on my truck and drove up to an antique store - they noticed I had this old table and said it was a Mark Butcher piece.  It wasn't in very good shape - I was going to take the legs off and put them in storage but when she said that I thought it was worth saving.  So I made it into a coffee table. 
     I measures 26" by 42".

Pine Sideboard

     I overhauled this pine sideboard and painted it this great red colour.  The flour bin on the left could be used for dog food, pot and pans, a garbage bin.  Overall I fixed-up the drawers and doors to be in perfect working order.

More Dressers

     Here are a couple more dressers I picked up and refurbished - the dresser are selling well! 

     I replaced all the handles.  The one thing ya got to do when ya have varithane on the wood is sand them down - I go over all the drawers and drawer slides so the drawers glide back and forth smoothly.  

     The white dresser is pine and has square nails.  The black dresser is made of hardwood.  I also go over all of the framework and re-nail as required to make sure they're strong.

Deacons Bench from old dresser & chairs

     I used an old dresser and two old chairs and made this deacons bench - the old drawers slide nicely!

Wine Cabinet from old Pine Washstand

     A friend of mine made his weekly trip to the dump and came back with this old pine wash stand (somebody threw away) - he gave it to me to re-work into something more useful!
    This item is for sale.

Horse Quilt Rack

     This horse I made as a quilt rack.  I used stair spindles for the legs and added rubber chair knobs on the bottom of the legs.  For the tails I used part of an old sewing machine.
     It measure 3'-0" in height and 4'-0" long.

 Below are the raw pieces i used to make the horse.

Dresser and Washstand

     I did up this dresser and wash stand.  I go over the cabinet re-nailing and cording them.  I I wax all the drawers and sliders to make them slide easier.

Stepback Cupboard

     I made this stepback this week - the bottom is a old wash stand. I went with a new color in a light peach.
