I have had a number of requests for pictures of some of my furniture. I know that this is sort of off topic, as to quilting related pictures, but as a one time concession, I will post some pictures.
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.

The room of lost fingers. Otherwise known as my shop. A place to be very careful.
