Furniture
I've built a variety of furniture projects over the years.
-
Home bar with a curved top
Features a curved front case. I’ve been collecting beer bottles for a long time now. When we finally bought our house I had the opportunity to built my own bar.

Steamer trunk
Curved top steamer trunk This trunk was made from plans (and hardware) purchased from the Woodworkers Journal magazine publication called Today’s Woodworker Issue 29.

Row boat
Let’s get nautical ! The boat was made from all scrap material. A bit of 1×4 spruce strapping and some 2×8 spruce pieces left over from a set of stairs. The sides are made of 1/4 inch thick plywood. The bow of the boat is capped with a piece of roof flashing.

Country pine shelf
Multi-purpose shelf. This project I made from a photo in a magazine. It is 36 inches long and 8 inches wide at the the top shelf. Made of 3/4 inch #2 pine most of which was scrap stock from the bin. The crown molding was my second attempt at using a 2 inch multi profile molding bit.

Double lidded coffee table
Double lidded coffee table This country style double lidded coffee table was relatively easy to build. After all, when you are trying to achieve a rustic looking piece of furniture, bumps and dings, scratches and dents are favorable. 🙂
-
Kitchen cook book case
Pretty basic but functional. A simple project made from 3/4 inch red oak. Corners are butt joined and the adjustable shelf tracking is dadoed into the sides to recess it.
-
Bird house lamp
Country kitch from the 1990’s! This is a simple project made from scrap board and decorated with tole paints then wired up with a lamp kit purchased from a local hardware store. A perfect way to make use of scrap wood short pieces.

Bathroom tissue cabinet
A one-board project. A simple project made from 3/4 inch pine. Corners were joined with a 45 deg miter cut to hide the ends of the boards. Heart shape cutouts done on a scroll saw.
