Bookcases

  • I have more bookcases I have made and will try to get pictures soon.  This set is solid 7/8 inch oak with glass shelves of adjustable height.  I have recently constructed another set of shelves.  This new set does not have adjustable shelves and is completely red oak (shelves and all).  The new set was designed for heavy storage.  The frame is constructed from full 1" rough cut (it is greater than 7/8" thick) and the shelves are just over 3/4" thick.  Each shelf support frame is securely fastened to the outside frame.  The new unit does not creak or give at all due to the over-engineering I incorporated into the design.

Cherry Hope Chest

  • These pictures do this project no justice.  Rustic Cherry.  Antiqued brass hardware.  Cedar lined.  Thick leather handles.  Flat top for sitting.  This was made to be at the foot of a bed.  It is about four feet long, two feet deep, two feet tall.  I never got a completed picture.  These pictures are missing the top corner hardware.

Cherry Hope Chest, Crispy's

  • This is the Hope chest I made for my wife and gave it to her as a wedding gift.  The tradition was that a father would make a cedar chest when he had a daughter.  The mother would then make linens to fill the box so when the daughter married and moved away, she would have enough stuff to take care of the house while she made her own items.  I spoke with my mom, her mom and stepmom, and offered it as a way to give gifts.  They all helped with the wedding and helped fill it.

    This a solid cherry wood hope chest.  The base are 1x5's (true one by five) and the lid is true 2x1.  The top is white ash with a purple heartwood inlay.  The bottom is aromatic cedar.  There is a tray that can slide back and forth, made of cherry, constructed with half-blind dovetail joints.  The chest is upholstered in a royal red velvet.

Oak Mantle

  • A co-worker wanted a simple mantle above their Lopi insert.  The old mantle was warped twisted from the years of extreme heat.  This mantle top is a full 9/8" thick.  The bottom piece was placed at an angle to help deflect heat to help prevent premature warping or distortion of the wood.  I also used as much knot-free wood as possible to help prevent twisting or warping.  There is only one knot on the whole mantle, and that is on the front piece.  It was unavoidable since I have only a few pieces of that length and width (4 feet by 11 inches).

Outdoor bench

  • I was given the metal frames as a gift.  I refurbished the metal frames and antiqued them with a black paint over an antique brass paint, so the edges have the rubbed antique look.  The wood is oak, stained, and finished with several coats of spar varnish.

Rank Bull Displays and Items

  • This is a custom display for apparel in a commercial store.  It has custom engraving.  Antiqued White Oak.  It is also knock-down capable for shipping.  These displays are being used in stores across the South West.  There is also a traveling display on tour with the Pro Rodeo.

    Also included in this folder is an assortment of Rank Bull Items.

Sofa Table, Oak
  • arrow Sofa Table, Oak

  • This is custom built sofa table.  The proud owner had custom dimensions for a specific location in the house.  The legs and upper apron are 7/8 inch thick oak.  I would not jump on it too much, but it would probably still survive with little to no loosening.  The top and bottom shelf are solid oak and feature a protective coat of polyurethane.

Tile Coffee Table

  • You could jump on this table and it would not make a sound.  The frame was over-engineered since I occasionally sit on things, such as coffee tables.  The bottom rack is doweled together and offers some storage space.  The granite tiles are not glued in.  They are simply set onto the substrate, which is 5/8" oriented strand.  They can be removed in the event of spill, cracked tile, or if we want to change the color.  There are supports for the top, running the narrow direction, which also have cleats for added support.  The "grout" is black walnut.  The rest of the table is red oak.  The top frame is rabbeted to prevent the edge from breaking off.  One of the pictures shows how only about 3/8" of the frame hangs over the edge of the substrate.

Wine Bar
  • arrow Wine Bar
  • (3 images)
  • This wine bar was my first project.  It took several months and I built it while at Navy Nuclear Power School in Charleston.  It is a 2x6 frame with a stained premium pine finish.  It has a drawer for openers and the like as well as a shelf for storage beneath the wine glasses.  It has been through four Navy moves and is still standing strong.
