Michigan Black Cherry Solid and Veneer Lumber.

This table had been partially stripped with coarse power sanding tools which had cut completely through the thin mahagony veneer on the top of the table. The table has 3 leafs with it to make it a very useful, 8 ft. long table. The customer decided it was worth purchasing a new 4x8 ft. sheet of mahagony veneer to repair the table with. Since the top was to be completely replaced, we decided to do some inlay work to make the table more interesting. A starburst pattern was drawn up on a CAD system and the leaves were designed in such a way that as each leaf was added, more starbursts appeared and matched with each adjoining section of the table. The veneer was applied along with the intricate starbursts, some light sanding was done, no stain was used, and then 3 coats of high gloss polyurethane were applied.

Slide out shelf conversion for pantry and under counter cabinets.

Conversion of antique mid 1800's vintage headboard and footboard into daybed. Footboard was cut in half to use as the armrest on each end. One long side rail was cut to length and used for the front cross piece. A standard crib size mattress will be used for the cushion. Overstuffed pillows are for lounging during the daytime, and young houseguests will sleep overnight within it's ornately carved embrace.


Completed daybed framework.

Kitchen cabinets in process at Calgary Street spec home.
