This wall mounted corner cabinet measures 10" deep, 16" wide, and 22" tall. It is primarily cherry with pine as the secondary wood (for the back). We invited fellow designer/craftsman Tom Cahalan into the shop in order for him to co-design this corner cabinet with us. While we did end up deviating a bit from the original design, I feel as if we still were true to the original intent. Well, it is a cabinet, and it hangs in a corner.

Lisa's Drookcase
$1500.00
This "drookcase" measures 12" deep, 16" wide, and 22" tall. It is made out of cherry with pine as the secondary wood (for the back). This piece is part small bookcase, part chest of drawers: hence, a drookcase. I have always wondered why hybridized furniture isn't more common. Instead of having a bookcase and a chest of drawers why not simply use the shelves in the bookcase as the tops for the drawers? A piece like this is ideal for apartment living where space is limited but needs remain diverse. Although this one is quite small, drookcases could be made any size.

Celeste's Hall Table
$2500.00
This Hall Table measures 5' long, 12" wide, and 31" tall. It is made out of black walnut and is finished with hand rubbed shellac. The top is made out of a single board that has quite a bit of character to it. (When we are dealing with a table top that is this narrow we usually will do a single board top.) The legs are five sided, which is a style that we have been working with for the last few pieces (Loura's Blanket Chest and Jill's Low Dining Table are other examples). The top has facets at the corners which echo the shape of the legs.

Loura's Blanket Chest
$5000.00
We built this blanket chest as a wedding gift for our sister Loura and her husband Chuck. The gentle curve of the coopered top softens the form while the tapered base gives it a solid, grounded feeling.
The body of the chest is constructed of Douglas Fir and finished with shellac, the interior bottom is Aromatic Cedar which we milled from a tree in our backyard.

Jill's Low Dining Table
$2000.00
This low dining table is built from black walnut and is finished with pure tung oil. Low dining tables are rare in America, which I think is a shame. Having used one for 3 years, I've found many benefits to dining low. First, a low table takes us less space as no chairs are needed. This lack of clutter is especially valued in apartment settings where space is limited.

Doug's Tool Chest
$2000.00
This hanging wall cabinet measures 26" high, 11.5" wide, and 6.75" deep. The front of the cabinet is woven out of ash, and the top, bottom, and interior are Peruvian Walnut. The pulls are hand-carved Peruvian Walnut.

We really like this piece. The woven front gives the front expanse some visual interest while the dark top and bottom bookend the creamy ash. The center pull gives a visual focal point and the fact that it interacts with the center seam is another nice touch.

Leslianne's Wall Cabinet
$1500.00
A simple hanging wall cabinet in black walnut and ash. It measures 18.5" high, 16.5" wide, and 5" deep. The front doors are certainly the focal piece of this wall cabinet. The doors come from a single piece of black walnut which we re-sawed in half to reveal this interesting bookmatch. The frame around the bookmatched panels is made of ash.
The piece itself is very Krenovian in its appearance and also in its construction. If you'd like to learn more about James Krenov (a big influence on our craftsmenship) we recommend you read a Cabinetmaker's Notebook. (Check your local library.)

Lydia's Occational Table
$2500.00
This side table is 46" long, 18" wide, and 31" tall, here shown in Red Birch and Peruvian Walnut. The top an example of frame and panel construction, as are the front and back aprons.
If we were to build this table again, I see us making it from a single species of wood instead of two, and perhaps adding some piercing in the front apron (nothing too ornate, but something regular and geometric). I also envision the corner details a bit heavier, though I do like how they echo the slight curve of the leg as they rise.
