Grizzly Bear Table Center Piece

     This is the first grizzly bear I've ever done.  I made two of them you can use for a center piece on table. 
 I used nails for the teeth.  They are 12" long.

Big Horn Sheep

     I picked up this fireplace dog-irons six months ago - three months went by then I had the idea to use them to make sheep horns.   So I cut them up in to five pairs and and made five big horn sheep in three different sizes.
I cleaned the iron up using my grinder brush attachment.

Desktop cabinet

     I had three of these drawers left over from a cabinet I bought and thought I'd work them into a small desk top cabinet. 
I cleaned up the original handles by using a grinder with a wire brush attachment.

Headboard from old door

     I made this headboard from an old door - this is for a king bed.  I make them in other sizes, ie. queen, double, etc.
Below is the door before I turned it into a king size headboard.

Stepback Cupboard with lock and key

     I made a couple of these stepback cupboards a few months ago and sold them all. So I made another.  
     Here I used an old dresser for the base which has original square nails.  I hunted up an old key and go the locks working on the drawers.

Porch Cabinet

     I was going through a flea market a month ago and came across this nice old door, which has old ripple glass.  The man selling the door said it came from a set of doors from the old stone Charlottetown Public Market.  
This cabinet would work great in a porch.
     Below is the old Public Market building where this door came from.  The market was designed by William Harris and opened in 1904 - it was destroyed by fire in 1958.  The market was located where The Confederation Center of the Arts is today.
Public Market - Charlottetown, PEI
     I have bought hundreds of doors over the years but this is one of the best yet.  When we look at old photos of the building and it looks like the same door.
