Pens

September 10, 2015June 2, 2016Stuart

Just some of the Pens I have made. Please contact me if you are interested in having one custom made for yourself, or as a gift.

I made this as a Christmas present for my mother, it is quarter sawn red oak, and is build with just joinery, no mechanical fasteners were used. It was measures and custom built just for her tub. Excuse the mess, This was done in the middle of about a dozen other projects I will upload more and better pictures if I can find them.

Frank Lloyd Wright Falling Water lamp

September 10, 2015September 10, 2015Stuart

I made this FLW falling water inspired lamp as a Christmas present to my father, who is a historic preservation architect by trade. I have fond memories of going to Falling Water when I was a child, and lying about my age so I could go in (no kids allowed I guess, and I was only off by a year). I took inspiration from the bedside lamps to create this oversized version. I wanted this lamp to be more of a centerpiece.

Craftsman Morris style Dog bed

September 10, 2015September 10, 2015Stuart

I wanted to build a bed for my dog that would match my Morris chair (That he thinks is his personal recliner), I had a matching cushion from an old couch, and used the process to practice my hand cut and chiseled mortise and tenon joinery. I used only joinery and glue to assemble this chair. My dog is apparently very skeptical

Snare Drum table

August 24, 2015September 10, 2015Stuart

I needed a side table between 2 chairs in my office/theater room. I decided to dig out an old snare drum from my days as a musician. I stripped it down, cleaned and polished it, then reassembled it adding LED strip lights and a dimmer to control the brightness. Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures of the process as it was fairly quick. But here is one of the LED's and a few of the finished product.
