Home Furniture Projects
Here is a representative
example of the furniture and home accessories I have built over the
years.
 |
This is a copy of a Charles Limbert table I made from solid lyptus and finished with satin polyurethane. |
 |
This is a Craftsman style accent lamp made from
solid
mahogany. |
 |
A box spindle chair and footstool. This is a Frank
Loyd
Wright design that I copied. It is made out of solid mahogany. |
 |
A clock made from quarter sawn oak and copper. |
 |
A Craftsman style coffee table of my own design
made from
lyptus and ash (white accents) with
removable inlaid tiles. |
 |
This is an entertainment center which holds our TV
and
stereo. It is made from solid mahogany and has shelves that slide in
and
out. I designed this piece to match the Craftsman styling of
the
other pieces of furniture I have designed and built. This came out
really good. The finish just glows. |
 |
A Craftsman style end table before it was
finished. It too
is made from mahogany. |
 |
This is a fabric hanger I made for Heather. It has
more of a
Chinese design than a Craftsman design. It is made of black walnut and
mahogany. Although hard to see, it has a front and back. The back
mounts to the wall and the front has pins that allow it to be separated
from the back for exchanging the cloth being hung. |
 |
A Craftsman style floor lamp made from quarter
sawn oak.
This is my own design. |
 |
A Craftsman style Morris chair made from solid
mahogany.
Back is adjustable by moving pins that support it. This is the most
comfortable chair I have made yet. |
 |
A foldable screen of Craftsman design. It is made
of quarter
sawn white oak. I made the screen and Heather made the fabric covers. |
 |
A Craftsman style settle or couch of my own
design. It is
made out of lyptus wood with fabric that matches many of the other
pieces I have built. |
 |
This is a shelf that I designed and built shown
here
supporting a cast iron decoration with floral motif. It consists of
three woods: ash, walnut and padauk. The length and width of each piece
of wood are defined by the golden mean (1.618) for a pleasing effect.
No I didn't mount the
shelf at a funny angle. I just took the picture this way to capture the
most detail. |
 |
Speaker stands of my own design. They hold the
rear speaks
in our surround sound system. These are made from mahogany. |
 |
Here
is a picture of a lot
of the pieces of furniture together in our basement. Looks nice doesn't
it. |
