Multi-drawer Island

     I picked up these neat set of drawers and worked them into this island - am happy to say this one is sold.

Screen Doors

     I still make screen doors - I've bean making them for 20 years.  Over the years I changed from making them from pine to using all cedar now.  
     The spindles are hand turned on a wooden lath.  The doors have removeable screen frame.   All the joints are glued with 3/4" wooden dowel.

Wooden Tank Corner Table & Nail Box Magazine Rack

     They don't get any older then this old wooden gas tank. I had a set of four brass legs up in attic  - this would be a corner table. 
      Yesterday i picked up this old nail box.  So i looked around here and found this base - an  old water tank stand.  This would make a great magazine rack or a place for yarn and netting needles.

Narrow Hutch with lots of drawers

     I also made this wall cabinet last week.  I used a narrow dresser for the bottom I built the shelves for the top and put in a nail bin drawer.
     The nail bin drawer would have held nails - the drawers can be shut off from each other by sliding the top cover back and forth.

New London Cottage features my furniture

     I supplied quite a bit of furniture to this P.E.I. cottage near New London - check out photo on their VRBO website...
Below is photo from their website showing the table I made.
     I made the headboards, night tables, coffee & end tables, re-furbished dressers, and made the largest dining room table I've ever built.

More Stepback Cabinets

     I made these three stepback cabinet last week. 
    In this narrow stepback I used a screen from an old farm thresher machine for the door.
    I did more of the old dressers and wash stand and made stepback cabinet out of them went with some loud colors

Shelter for my Dog

      I made my dog a shelter last night - I used a box liner for the back of the shelter.  His name is Calvin - he's close to a year old.   Mans best friend.
      And what dog doesn't need a bone holder - I got this old antler at an antique shop.
Here's Calvin when he was just a puppy.
