Windsor Cradle

I designed this cradle to go with the Windsor chairs I build. This one is made of Koa with ebony spindles. Koa is now very rare and expensive, but this rocker would be lovely in mahogany or walnut. Plans and instructions are available from American Furniture Design, (see links page). 21”x38”x21”

$4400 in Walnut.

Wine Cellar

This was an early California home with a cement basement space that the owner wanted to convert to a home office along with a wine cellar. The triple doors were a reflection of the triple veggia design on the upstairs deck. The molding shapes were all copied from the other parts of the house.

Gumwood Doors and Bookcases

The client needed a pair of doors here and bookcases with pillars that matched the moldings and details original to the house. Also the stain glass windows were obtained and are an exact copy of another pair on the opposing end of the hallway. Some of this work in this picture is 80 years old. The rest of it is new.

Backlit Bookcases

The Client wanted a wall of bookcases built in, but didn’t want to change out the five existing windows. The two end units recess into the window frames and allow the light to come through. This makes for a unique display area for artwork or plants. African Mahogany 144”x94”xl4”

Tansu Cabinet

Here the clients wanted a stepped Tansu style cabinet, but wanted it to be somewhat more interpretive. . For the doors I used one continuous piece of ash veneer and framed the boxes in Santos mahogany. The pulls are actually a craftsman style. 84”x20”x52”

Custom Doors

These two sets of custom doors were made for a Spanish Revival home. The arched ones needed to fit an existing opening and the bifolds were to hide the laundry machines. African mahogany.

Moroccan Style Desk

This client had already furnished her home with several “Moroccan” styled pieces and thought that a custom desk in the same style would fit right in. This low desk is in an “L”layout and holds computers, printers and a piano keyboard. The desk is African mahogany and carved in “chip carving” designs. 72”x72”x25”

Craftsman Kitchen

These cabinets and island are part of a craftsman kitchen. The large hutch in the back is also a California Cooler in that it is vented from the basement, through the shelves and out the top. These two pieces were done natural to look like old furniture, but the rest of the kitchen was painted a light sea green color. The open grill designs continue throughout the entire kitchen. Verticle grain fir.

Calliope Desk

A client wanted a desk/bookcase for a young grandson that could be add ons and faux painting that went with a circus theme, but the details could be easily changed as the child grew older.
