I have been restoring
old furniture and building new pieces since 1972 as a hobby.
My first 2 projects
were in shop class in high school and I have been a woodshop enthusiast
ever since.
The first thing
I built was a plaque for my father, I still have it today. My love of building
anything from
wood began before
shop class in my father's shop. He wasn't a carpenter, he was VP of Piggly
Wiggly,
but he loved to
tinker in the shop and fix things around the house. I became interested
in woodworking
so I took shop
class and the rest is history.
One of my most
challenging projects is pictured below. One of my client's relatives asked
if I
could rebuild
her cedar armoire. I said of course thinking it just needed a little work.
I got to the house
to pick it up
and found 14-15 pieces of aromatic cedar in the driveway. It looked like
someone had tossed
the armoire out
of a truck going 50 mph or so. That piece took me 3 weeks of nights and
weekends to figure
out where they
all went, but I finally got it back together...I had to make three new
pieces to complete the
armoire but they
blended well after sanding.
Recently, I decided
to open the 'doors' to the shop as a full time service to help stay busy.
Along with deck
and fence projects, I am available for a number of other services. I listed
a few of them
below. If you
don't see your project type, be sure to ask! All new projects are built
from real wood,
I never use any
manufactured wood product other than furniture grade plywood.
