Kitchen Chalkboard
Posted: June 6, 2011 Filed under: Gallery - Visual Leave a commentSome scraps of cherry, a melamine board and one quart of chalkboard paint and we made this piece, which has become essential to our kitchen – both for practical things as well as mark making by our daughter!

Nursery Furniture
Posted: May 21, 2011 Filed under: Chronicles of a First Time Parent, Gallery - Visual 1 CommentIn January of 2009, during Becca’s third trimester, I was laid off from my job as a cabinetmaker. Whoa! Well, as fortune would have it, the layoff gave lots of free time to complete the furniture I was building for the nursery. And the approaching deadline kept me plenty busy.
I converted an old bookcase into a changing table, adding four storage drawers.
Using all scrap wood, I built a pair of chests, with cherry for the cases and maple for the top.
This is my friend Bill’s house and shop where the furniture was built.
