This piece is a segmented native mesquite table.

This walnut commode is made of black walnut and is a wonderful study in joinery and craftsmanship. It has a radiused face with arched panels; the pilasters on the sides are intersected on the arch. ... If you say that real fast it doesn't mean much, but to execute this in a three dimensional manner is a whole different matter.

End view of large kitchen island. The island contained a second oven and dishwasher as well, as all other available space was configured for storage.

This is a rather large storage cabinet. It had to be brought in in three pieces. Once installed the large crown and accent lighting were added. Note the fit to the wall and the fit to the intersecting hutch.

This is the main cooking area. Great appliances, granite, and tile by others. It's hard to see, but if you look closely under the lower cabinet doors there are wide shallow drawers that automatically project when actuated with a light toe push. The drawers are only a couple of inches deep but utilize the wasted "kick space" and are great for cooking sheets, serving trays, and other flat cookware.

Our customer was very forthcoming on what she wanted. She made the job much easier with good sketches and photos from magazines. She knew what she wanted and that's what she wanted. Try and try again ... it took me about five tries to get this hood perfect.

This was fun. The tile floor dropped off to the right over an inch in just a few feet. Did I say we don't do kitchen cabinets? ... The box for the fridge had to fit very closely to maintain the desired built-in look. The manufacturer's instructions made the panels for the doors simple. ... Again, the large crown molding and accent lighting were added after installation.

Again, the slope of the floor made the leveling and trim of these pieces a bit challanging. This kitchen was the first project were we utilized the Blum soft closing hidden drawer slides. These slides are so innovative that their design has since been duplicated by most if not all manufacturers.

The light pigmented stains and lacquer finish allow the beautiful grain of the pecan wood panels to show through. The accent lighting, tile work, and talented photographer make this kitchen project a real show piece.

The home's exterior design is French Country / Old South Louisiana. The addition of the true timber v-groove ceiling and beams add to the warmth and feeling of the room.

Great symmetry, fit, and color.

The stains and finish speak volumes for the quality of the cabinets here.

This china cabinet has been completely restored and updated with glass shelves and lights. This piece was totally derelict. I was very proud of the final product; we started with so little to work with.

This beautiful round pedestal table has a solid West Texas mesquite top that is 100% "clear" (no fills, checks, or voids). It has a turned pedestal of one solid beam, with laminated and fluted burl legs. It would be excellent for your dining room or as a reading table with a beautiful lamp.

A series of Arts and Crafts / Mission Style game table chairs, custom made for a ranch lodge in Kimball County.

This bench was a salvage job for a good cushion on a bad base. It turned out well.

This is our latest bed stretch project. It is going to be beautiful when complete.

The bed was a nice 3/4 size with short rails. We added a little over twelve inches in width and new eighty inch rails for a standard queen size 60 x 80.

Another look at this great project.

One more great shot!

A wonderful antique family heirloom that is not being used because it is narrow and short.

Family heirloom returned to usable standard queen with transparent modifications repaired and refinished as new ... only better!

Oak full size antique bed.

Modified bed expanded to king.

When the bedroom suit that these beds came from was manufactured the mores of society were such that couples slept in twin beds. To have a wonderful vanity, low boy, and high boy dressers and not have a functional standard king or queen bed made the whole set a waste.

Here is the project in process.

Finished project.

Happy customer!
