Cherry Wine Bar and Storage

This solid cherry and cherry veneer wine bar stores wine bottles, a wine cooler, and has a storage cabinet for glasses.

It's the perfect size for a corner area and provides everything for a night of entertaining.

Kitchen Before and After

I replaced this dated kitchen with factory-made cabinets, new appliances, and new layout to give the homeowner a more functional work area. Although factory-made cabinets were used, working together with the homeowner, we added touches like the custom crown molding detail to enhance the space.

Teenager Desk

I returned to a customer's home to find this painted desk that I built 15 years ago, and it was in perfect condition. I had cut the rope molding and flute accents by hand. The young woman for whom it was made has since moved away and married. Maybe she will give this heirloom desk to a child of her own someday.

Craftsman to Artist

Customers have referred to me as a craftsman and an artist many times. These remarks have always been great compliments. Recently I came upon a quote from American lawyer, Louis Nizer (1902-1994):

"A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist."

Do you have an idea for a project that I can put my hands, brain and heart to work for you?

Classic Kitchen Wall Cabinets

Upper kitchen cabinets, built to match an 80-year-old kitchen hutch, fill a wall for much-needed storage in a modest-sized kitchen.

Cherry Wall-Mounted Server

At only nine inches deep, this wall-mounted server provides needed storage and a serving surface in a narrow dining room. Made of cherry and cherry veneers, the style and color complement the dining room table.The design makes the cabinet appear to be floating.

Deck the Halls

A long, open wall in a large hallway was the perfect place to add a bookcase that compliments many other built-ins in the home.
