Cedar Adirondack chairs


I built these chairs for the Lantz's. (That's probably not how you pluralize Lantz, but there needed to be something in there, and an "e" just doesn't seem right. I guess I could have said Lantz family.)

Oak Book Shelf


This is one of my favorite projects of all time because
I built it entirely out of wood I already had sitting around, and I completed it in the span of a couple of weeks. I think it looks kind of elegant as pictured here with a handful of books and a couple of other decorative items. Unfortunately in practice it is crammed full with all manner of printed items, some shoved horizontally between a stack and the above shelf, and the top is cluttered with miscellaneous household items.

Oak Entertainment Center



I made this in the summer of 2004 to perfectly fit our TV. Who knew that just a few years later everyone would just buy flat screen TVs to hang on the wall? Dang.

Poplar Firewood Box



I built this box for my parents to hold firewood. I cleverly matched the stain to the existing mantle. Shortly thereafter, my parents moved to a house that has a painted white mantel. Also, the new fireplace is gas. Oh well. It's seeing good use now as a book-holder-box-thing.

Audrey was 2 at the time this was built, and she had her own ideas for how it might be used. I have to say that I kind of miss Barney a little bit.

Oak Swivel TV Stand



I made this swivel TV stand for Lavonne so she could watch television from her favorite chair, which sat to the right of the table.

Oak TV Cabinet



After building the sofa table. I thought it would be fun to design my own piece. I came up with this thing, which turned out how I planned it, but it's kind of big and clunky. It does do a good job of concealing a TV that we never actually watch. but if anybody wanted it, they could probably talk us out of it pretty easily (the cabinet, not the TV, although we probably could be talked out that too).
