Happy little cabinet.

The Bakers Cabinet set is starting to take a little shape. Select quarter sawn and curly red oak stains to a nice deep toffee with plenty of asphaltum to help highlight the figure. Pillowed drawer sides for a little extra touch.

I built this bench a couple of months ago for my favorite restaurant. Every time I visit I check to see how it’s been doing and am always pleased to see the Centurion poly2k doing everything I said.

A peek at some progress and the direction it’s taking.

The first of several pieces for the Bergman House in Newton, Iowa — the state’s only known Spanish Mission Revival home, built in 1909–1910 by Proudfoot & Bird.

Heavy Mission and Arts & Crafts character throughout, with subtle Art Nouveau influence woven into the original details.

Projects like this are why we do custom work.

The first part of a good door- Tenons!

Some fun with a mock-up. With a narrow, tall drawer, dimensions seem to be less forgiving. I was having a very difficult time getting this one to work out, but thank goodness there are others who also post their work here on the net and I found the solution in separating the slides. Time to move forward!

Happy little bird. Be brave, take a chance, dive in and repair!

I was able to finish the install yesterday. The first photo is the finished product, the second image is the rendering provided at the beginning, I moved the rails a bit during the design. The goal being to be inline with the period architecture of the home. Custom knives made to match the homes details and color matched for the area.
