Showcase Cabinet in Teak and Yellow Cedar
Thursday, July 24th, 2008This cabinet was my final project while attending College of the Redwoods’ Fine Woodworking program. It was designed as an exercise in veneering and glasswork. (Plus, if you are going to build a showcase cabinet, C/R is the place to do it.) The door consists of a bent-laminated teak frame with three panes of glass, while the cabinet is teak and yellow cedar veneer over a Baltic-ply core. Perfect for displaying Pez dispensers, tiny helper robots, or anything else that is better kept behind glass.
Dimensions: 29″ T x 18″W x 6″ D
Materials: Teak, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Glass
Finish: Teak Oil (Outside), Shellac (Inside), Wax

Hemlock Wall Cabinet
Sunday, January 20th, 2008This small-ish wall cabinet in Western Hemlock was the first piece I made while attending the College of the Redwoods’ Fine Woodworking Program. The requirements for the piece were that it be “small, solid, simple, and sweet.” It was a joy to build. The cabinet itself features resawn double-doors, three drawers, handmade hinges, and a secret compartment. (Just don’t tell anybody.)
Currently on display at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, as part of the CraftTexas 2008 exhibition.
Dimensions: 30″L x 10″H x 6″D
Materials: Western Hemlock, Native Olive, Elm, Maple, Port Orford Cedar
Finish: Shellac, Wax

10 Small Boxes Huddled Together for Warmth
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006 My first “proper” piece, built in mid-winter while in Maine. (The name

Materials:Cherry, Maple
Finish:Hand-rubbed Oil w/ Natural Beeswax
