Burl and Walnut Desk
Redriver Eucalyptus Burl and Black Walnut. I harvested that burl from where cal trans had plans to put a onramp. It took 11 hours and $1000 to dig it up once I got the ok from the officials 22 years ago.
Brian’s Table
One of my clients, many years ago, was at the beach with his wife. While looking at the tide, as it went out, he noticed a stump in the surf.
Wine/Fruit Press
I was wanting to make something different. I was wanting to make something practical. I had just purchased apple and cherry bare root trees.
Kitchen Remodel
I remodeled my kitchen when my dishwasher broke. It was the last straw in a series of events that caused the refurbishing of my home. Last year my septic tank backed up which caused water damage to my bathroom and hallway.
Shoji Screen
The window behind the bar in my house was in need of framing. Since I have this Asian theme going on I decided to make a shoji screen. Shoji is the Japanese word for paper.
Tori Gate
I have lived on my two and a half acre lot for 25 years. It was a pasture that had nothing on it. It has taken a very long time to develop this place and I am just now starting to put my own touches around; to give this place my own flair.
Art Deco Credenza
One of my earlier pieces (I did it about 15 years ago) was this credenza. I saw a picture of one similar in a magazine. I knew I wanted to try to make a piece of my own from the stock I had been selling to customers.
Violin Blog
It was the mid 1990’s and I was still beekeeping for a living. I had a bit of free time in the off season and I had a large shop and a little spare room. I had done other woodworking projects, bird carving, furniture projects, etc but I had never attempted an instrument.
Buckeye Custom Neck-Through Guitar
This is the first guitar I have ever made. I am lucky to start out with the most beautiful woods. I chose claro black walnut for the back and buckeye for the front.
What I’m Going To Build Next and Other Things….
Good morning. Today I would like to talk about what I’m going to build next. I have been watching Kill Bill 2 and I see a bar that Hattori Hanzo built and I am contemplating using that type of construction in scale that could seat five or six people.
