We had an antique rocking chair come into our shop that sustained a bad break.

The back post was too long for the lathe, so we had to make the new turning using a different tool.

Warren made “wheels” to put on the wooden stick and “turned” it using the table saw.

After turning it, Warren sanded it smooth, and then attached it to the chair.

Good as new!

Here is the project we installed. We built a loft bed with a book case on one end and drawers steps on the other. The homeowner will place a futon underneath the bunk.

We were asked to refinish this floor. The homeowner wanted the floor stained a beautiful dark walnut stain.

We refinished a dining room floor that previously had pergo on it. The homeowners scrapped up the tile and most of the adhesive. We made the floor look new again. Enjoy your new dining room floor, homeowner! ?

This past week we were able to make a king size head board. We made it out of old barn wood.

We stained and finished all the handrails in this lovely house, which includes the front foyer, balcony, back stairway, basement, and attic.

We were asked to make a custom made storm door. The homeowner ordered the glass to fit it perfectly. In the summer the glass can be removed and screen put in place of it.

We made custom made dowel rods to make pegs for Rehmeyer’s Hardwood Flooring using the table saw. We made over 1,600 of them!

We just got done repairing and refinish an antique hall tree that was dated 1907. It came to us very dark, almost black with some veneer missing and a carved foot missing. Warren carved a new foot and put new veneer where it was missing.

Did you inherit someone else’s taste in decorating when you moved into your new house?

This room was painted a dark purple. The homeowner painted over it this nice blue color. We were to cover the wall paper with wainscoting painted white.

We can help with your decorative woodworking jobs.
