The following are just a few examples of my creative vision and craftsmanship

Antique Casement Window Restoration

Full restoration including removal of loose paint and debris from sashes, frame, and remaining hardware. Multiple areas of rot were completely cut out and new wood was secured in its place and blended in with wood filler. Wood stabilizer was applied to protect original wood components. New glass was pinned into place and glazed. Sashes primed and painted. Remaining original hardware was cleaned and waxed to prevent further rust, missing period correct hardware was sourced. Window sashes rehung and are now fully functional.

Hard Maple Half Wall Cap

Original painted pine cap replaced by 4/4 Hard Maple half wall cap, with a crack secured by 3 hand cut Dutchman joints on the presentation face and finished with polyurethane. Original trim repaired, reinstalled, and repainted.

Tongue & Groove Pine Ceiling

This was a personal project for my workshop. Installed pressure treated 2x4s along the length of the “I” beams to affix the 5 1/2” T&G boards. Stained both sides of the T&G with General Finishes ‘Candlelite’ Gel stain and applied topcoat. Insulation was installed during installation of the ceiling boards.

Dining Chair in Black Walnut

A dining chair made from black walnut, held together entirely with traditional mortise and tenon joints. Upholstered with upcycled 1970s green diamond fabric and finished with boiled linseed oil. designed to be stackable for easy storage.
