Coffee Table and end tables.
Had a customer who wanted these made from cherry and walnut harvested from his father's land in Tennessee.
Wood had been air dried in his garage for about ten years/ His father had previously had it in his garage for about 15 years.

The pictures were taken minutes before he arrived to pick up the tables.

Old world meets modern day geek

Years ago I remodeled a room for a lady ,,, she wanted me to haul it off ,, the old cord was bad and had shorted out , she said had she not been home it would have burnt the house down.

I did what i could to try and restore the old electronics with no luck.
So I gutted it,,, added a transformer and a modern stereo and speaker , I re-did the fabric and totally refinished the radio

A few years ago I built this 24 ft sailboat designed by Phil Bolger. Flat bottom, sailing/rowing boat with lexan side windows and fully open cockpit for and aft. Off-center mast and swing keel. Sails and rows very well!
