Espresso Finish Shelving with white pipe.

This was a really cool but challenging project, fish bowl install with customers gawping.

Learning the art of the Luthier

This has been a long journey for me, I have been reading up on how to make guitars for a few years now, and I finally jumped in and built a steam box and started small with an Ukulele. I just picked that instrument up this summer as a camp instrument and I rather like it.
  This goes up to the clamping of the back board, that's as far as I've gotten so far. I will take the clamps off today.

Live Edge Magnetic Knife Racks.

I have been making this knife rack design for I guess almost ten years now, though that seems hard to believe to me. It's strange how the older you get, the faster time seems to pass. These are primarily built from western walnut, but I like to throw a few Oregon Myrtle in there for good measure. This order is headed to a knife shop in San Francisco, called Bernal Cutlery. They have a fabulous selection of knives from all over the world, but I think their primary focus has been Japanese Steel. Still looking for a shop here in Portland who can move bulk like the SF shop does, I tried the guy on Hawthorne, but he didn't have funds to do an up front payment. That's the problem with Portland, everybody is cheap. There, I said it. You happy now:)? I will likely put some of these up on the Etsy soon, I just moved into my own shop space, so a renewal is in order.

Conference Room/ Break Room Table in Reclaimed fir with heavy duty 1 and 1/2 Steel Pipe Base.

Another table for a local cheese and ice cream making company. The heavy duty steel pipe gives it a very sturdy feel as well as an interesting look.

Clear Cedar and Steel Pipe Bench. $250.00

A variation on one of my design themes, I had purchased this cedar ay Rebuild it Center in a few rough sawn pieces thinking it was fir. Finally figured out a good use for it.
