Custom-made Furniture

I've been making furniture and built-ins for many years. Here a a few recent examples.
 I would be delighted to discuss a project that you have in mind.

Dining Table

This mid-century modern dining table was a commissioned project.

Here are the design highlights:

  • Dimensions: 36" x 72" and 30" in height 
  • The client specified White Oak and wanted the ends of the boards in the top to be exposed rather than have breadboard ends 
  • The legs are mounted flush with the corners of the table, without an apron; they are tapered and splayed
  • Table is finished with Danish Oil

Quilt Bench

This quilt bench stores a king-size quilt at night with a shelf for two shams.

  • Dimensions: 18" x 72" x 24" in height
  • Pine with Ogee edges on top and shelf
  • Finished with Tung Oil

Built-in Bookcases

These bookcases were designed to highlight the "minimalist, form follows function" esthetic: 

  • Dimensions: Each module is 24" wide x 72" tall x 9" deep
  • Select (knot-free) pine is used throughout
  • Designed to be strong enough so that the shelves resist sagging
  • The uprights are frames made of 1x3s that are open in the middle to make them less visually massive
  • Finished with Tung Oil
  • The backs are open with an accent color painted on the wall

Built-in Closet Fixtures

In our house renovation, we converted a small bedroom into his & hers walk-in closets. The design embodied these ideals:

  • Various storage configurations to optimize space utilization
  • Elegance through simplicity -- minimize use of materials
  • Keep the floor open as much as possible -- closet poles and shelving are mounted on uprights that are hung from - and rest on - cleats attached to studs in the walls
  • Highlight the materials used -- constructed out of pine, finished with Tung Oil
