Tom's Corner Cabinet

$1750.00

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.
