Hi all,
This took much longer than planned -- just like all my other projects. But, am quite happy with the way it turned out. This is black walnut with Watco Danish Oil, shellac, and four layers of varnish. It is 9'4" long and 1' deep. It has four storage areas and outlets installed in...
This is a built from scratch mantle made of 3/4" finger jointed poplar using pocket hole joinery. Moulding on shelf is my design and run on my router table. All other moulding is either small or large base cap, and the fluted pilasters are done with custom run moulding from New Home...
So, in general I am slow as I attempt any finer WW'ing.

What I have not been able to figure out is how to run...
My project for the last 2 months was watching Air Vent install a new Sunroom. After the room was added, and the floor installed I had to build a base for a direct vent fireplace. This installation is a corner unit and I used Cultered Stone "brick" for a real look. Real brick would have been...
Here are some pictures of the last big project I did of a fireplace built in unit for my neighbor. He bought the materials. I cut, glued and installed and he and his wife stained.
The cabinets are made of mostly oak faced plywood. The sides are 3/4" and the back is 1/4" material. The face...
