Making a Custom King Size Headboard

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

Cutting it down into parts.
I used the router to cut out where the ballusters go in the railing.
The ballusters cut to fit.
Fitting in the ballusters
Now we attach the posts.
All put together now. That’s pretty big. ?
Now it it stained.

Custom Storm Door

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.

Putting the door together.
The homeowner painted it black.
Got the hinges working.
Putting the trim work on to hold in the glass.
That sure is a big storm door! They must be expecting a big storm coming! ?

Antique Hall Tree

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.

New Wainscoting

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.

Refinishing a Handrail

This handrail was sanded down by the homeowner, but could not be completed. We were called to finish sanding it and stain and finish it to match the floors.

There was still some old stain and finish left on the posts and rails.

Here you can see where the handrail was sanded cleaner. The black grunge was sanded out.
With new coat of stain and finish.
