Flat file drawer

This is a flat file drawer that has 7 drawers and will have a maple top and drawer faces will be maple along with the back, and it will be on casters. Will post pictures next week.

Valet stand

Heres a couple snapshots of a valet stand I built for The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe in.California. I used a Birch wood that I put a solution on that gives it a slight grey look. I mix up the solution and never exactly know how much it will change it, but it gave this a nice soft grey to go with the natural wood color. It has hooks for 100 keys to hang along with locking door and drawer.

Shipping by freight

I have a lot of people ask about shipping. I ship worldwide but its not as simple as a small end table every time. I routinely ship very large items up to 10.feet once in the crate and can weigh up to 1000 lbs or more for some. As you can imagine its quite a process. First I build a very heavy duty crate around each item.which can.cost $100 or more just for the materials alone. Then a few hours to build it and wrap and secure the piece inside. Then loading is not always so simple. A lot of my pieces are very.big and can not fit.sideways into the freight truck door so it.has to go longways. This is quite a challenge when you have no loading dock. Some people are shocked by freight costs but if you look at all that goes on with it, it makes sense and is quite reasonable. Were not shipping pillows and something I've spent months building and a client has waited for needs to.get there safe.

Kitchen.cabinet

This is a kitchen cabinet I just completed. I built it so it will fit right into a nook in the wall the homeowners have built during construction of the house. Its 9 feet long and 2.5 feet deep and 36 inches high. Every door has a keyed lock and a door catch. Along with the handles I've been making to put on most things lately. It has reclaimed elm wood on top and I spent a lot if time on little details so it turned out extra clean in.the end.
