This is straight up Anna White plan stuff here. Made a bunk bed and chair for Maggie.

Drawer Unit
I built a storage unit with drawers to go under Melissa’s sewing table. This one was pretty easy since I used melamine for the case and some leftover drawers from our kitchen (don’t ask). I just had to mill up some walnut for the drawer fronts. Custom furniture is great because it fits perfect!
Ash Room Divider
I built this for a friend out of ash from Hearne Hardwoods in PA. I came up with the design based off a bunch of pictures we looked at together. This is all loose tenon joinery, no screws. For a little bit there I was wondering how I was going to get it glued together but I figured it out eventually.
Ash Trestle Table
I built this table for our kitchen out of ash from a sawyer in Baltimore County with a little bit of walnut I picked up several years ago from someone in Havre de Grace that had some trees from his property cut up so it’s all “local” wood. I was able to get a bunch of ash slabs from the middle of the tree, cut out the pith and was left with a lot of nice quartersawn/riftsawn pieces for the top. I grain filled the top and edges with a medium brown dyed filler. Loose mortise and tenon joinery for the base and a water borne conversion varnish for the finish.
2023 Season
We’re back at it and will be doing one show this year to ease back into things. Hope to see some familiar faces. We really appreciate those of you that thought of us and contacted us in the interim looking for items.
The show we’re doing will be at Glasgow High School on Saturday, December 9, 2023.
