The Chippendale desk in mine. Behind the upper doors, are three shelves holding books. The Glass Display Armoire is Solid Cherry.
The Pine Hutch is Solid Southern Pine. All of these three pieces are made in 17-19th century style out of solid wood, no plywood, with no nails or modern attachments holding them together. They represent my best impression of how a period correct piece of furniture would have been made in those times, by a skilled hand craftsman. The other things are done in a similar vein. Generally made with mortise and tenon and dovetail construction and no nails or other modern methods. Some made completely by hand tools and true to the style and period.

Your work is great--any person would be on top of the world to have it in their house. My son also works with wood--hasn't reach that level. The shop is great--have to have the necessary tools and equipment to make furniture. Thank you for sharing
