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.
