This piece in now in our home and available for you to see as an example or our
craftsmanship. It was my entry for the 2005 Texas Furniture Show in Kerrville, TX It
was also entered in the Pearls Before Swine Art Show in Elgin, TX in 2006 and won a
judges award (2nd place) and the Peoples Choice Award.

I would be delighted to build one for you. Size, wood type, finish and design can be
your decision, I'll do the construction. Prices start at $2500.00

This is my second project for my furniture apprenticeship. The hutch framework is
built from Texas Pecan. The door, side and back panels are figured Cherry veneer. I
inlayed a black veneer into the doors to create a flowing grass look. The finish is
three coats of hand rubbed lacquer.

The end table is made from contrasting pale Soft Maple and dark Walnut .
The two woods are laminated together to form the gentle curve in the top and
drawer front. The dimensions of the table were established using the
“golden ratio” to acquire a shape that is pleasing to the eye. Each leg is
tapered on two sides for a delicate and light appearance. All legs are
attached using mortice and tenon joints. A bevel was also added to the
underside of the table top. Drawer construction includes dados and hand
cut dove tail joints. A removable drawer bottom is also provided for ease of
replacement. A small “stop” on the back of the drawer is included to prevent
the drawer from coming all the way out unexpectedly. Matching Walnut is
used for the turned drawer pull. Two coats of Shellac sanding sealer were
applied followed by many coats of clear lacquer hand rubbed to a high gloss.

I entered my "Delicate Table" in the 2005 Central Texas Wood Artisans Show
in Austin, TX and won first place in the intermediate division. I was really
excited! I have made a laminated wood chair to match this table for my third
project. You can see the chair on the work in progress page of this web site.

Prices start at: $500.00

This is the front of the chair I made to match the
Delicate Table shown at the left. Maple and Walnut is
used as in the table, the curve is similar, I straighted it
out a little. You can see more of the chair on the "work
in progress" page on this site.

I was asked to build a blanket chest to
match some existing Mission Style bedroom
furniture. The front has fake drawers.

Spring supports are used at each end of the
lid so it closed slowly. Stain, sealer and
lacquer were used for the finish.

New blanket box on the left, existing chest of
drawers on the right.

I built this twin over full bunk bed to match an
existing Mission Style bed.

Quarter sawn Oak was stained and used to
construct the bed.

The full extension drawer is short to clear the plumbing but
is still large, approx. 20" long x 7" deep x 11" wide.

This is a vanity table I made for a client in Sept. '06. A sink will be mounted in the hole in the center of
the top and ceramic tile that matches the floor tile will be installed around the sink. The vanity is
constructed of Red Oak, some accent pieces are quarter sawn Oak that has a beautiful grain pattern.

Mesquite was provided by a member of the Methodist Church
in Cedar Creek TX to me to construct this beautiful
Communion Table for their new building. The top measures
30" wide x 72" long.
It is a challenge to work with this wood due to the cracks, splits
and voids in the wood, however it makes a very special table.

Carving is included on the front apron. Two coats of
hand rubbed lacquer were used for the finish.

The Lectern is used regularly.

The Baptismal Font was constructed to match the other pieces.

This is a kneeler wide enough for two people.
It may be used at weddings.

This is a media center built by my son and I. It contains
shelves for DVD's and CD's. It's made of Maple
plywood with Maple shelf edges.

This antique table belongs to my daughter-in-law Molly. It used to belong to her Great
Grandmother. It was in need of repairs when she brought it to me, the veneer top was
coming off and had been patched long ago and all the leg joints were loose. I took it
all apart, added new four way book matched Walnut Burl Veneer to the top and glued
all the joints. The finish for the bottom portion is Shellac, like the original and the new
veneer top was sprayed with three coats of lacquer. Molly is very happy with the
results!
I would like to do veneer work for you, either exotic wood or domestic woods.

I made a 6" thick solid Cedar mantle and mounted it
to the left of the display cabinet. It is supported by
chains made by a local Blacksmith, Tiger Flores. The
mantle has a Shellac finish.

I used Texas Pecan to construct this display cabinet. It features "antique"
glass in the doors that has "defects" in the glass, like bubbles and uneven
texture. Shelves are adjustable and half of them have a groove at the rear
so that plates can stand up and be displayed. A clear semi-gloss lacquer
finish was used.

This is a curved magazine holder that I built for my Dentist in Elgin. It has been in use for 20 years
and still in wonderful condition. The stair step shelves were made to conform to the curved wall of
the reception area and match the existing oak trim.

I used Maple wood for these cabinets with a clear lacquer finish. The
center and right base cabinets do not have bottoms in them so that
sewing equipment can be rolled into them for storage. Adjustable
shelves are included in the left base cabinet and all the upper cabinets.
This room has a 9 foot ceiling.

Price $3600.00 plus installation and trim.

This is a display rack I built for a Realtor in Elgin, where I live. It has 28
sections that hold fliers with information about houses and land for sale.
It is made from White Oak and has a lacquer finish.

Price $250.00
