I started with oak-faced plywood office furniture for the Den and later began working with cherry, maple, and walnut to make furniture that we can use in our home. I have also made a bed for each of our daughters and several pieces for other people. But I am older now, and I recently stopped woodworking and sold my woodworking equipment. It was fun while it lasted, but it is time to stop.

Desk, PC Stand, CD Tower
Office furniture is made of oak and oak-faced plywood. Drawers are birch-faced plywood.


Keyboard Cabinet
The keyboard cabinet holds my MIDI keyboard, which connects to the PC for my music arranging hobby.


Stereo Stand
This is the first piece I every made. It holds my obsolete but still working stereo equipment.


TV Stand
The TV outgrew a previous stand, so I made this one.


LP Cabinet
I'm showing my age. I still have a collection of classical and jazz LPs.

bathroom cabinet for Harriett
I made this cabinet 'to order' from a magazine picture my sister Harriett found.


Linen Cabinet for Myra
This cabinet was made to fit a narrow bathroom for my sister Myra. It is made of maple, with birch plywood inset on the sides, and has biscuit joinery. There are two adjustable shelves behind the door.


Birdhouse
The birdhouse is almost 20 years old. Since I didn't have a table saw at the time, I cut the barrel stave angles on my radial arm saw. The cedar shakes for the roof were individually hand cut, and are held in place with silicone caulk.


Swing
The swing is at least ten years old. It is made of treated lumber, finished with an opaque stain. We take it in every winter to make it last longer.
