I built this 26” x 48” table after my wife saw a smaller version on the Woodworks show a couple of months ago. Finished it this weekend and moved into the kitchen.

This is the project that got me to set up my shop.
As a contractor I built our home about eight years ago, and had received a bid for $10,000 to build the
bookcases for my office.
I decided I could buy the tools necessary and the lumber for less money and still have the tools for future projects, so I started with a Jet table saw, a jointer, dust collector and a bunch of cherry lumber.
Plus I got the satisfaction of doing it myself.

For mother’s day I put together this cherry recipe box at my wife’s urging. It keeps peace when you do what your wife suggest , especially for your mother in law!

This is a cherry cradle I built for my daughter who was expecting her first child and my second Grandchild four years ago and has since been used for two more grand children.

Made this box from some walnut and cut the center panel in the top from a stump that had been laying in my yard for about four years. The stump came from a ornamental cherry tree that had been cut down in my wife’s family’s backyard.

I spoke to soon, the hands were in the mail when I got home last night, so it’s now complete….about time!

Curio I bullt last year for my wife.

Cloclk is finished, but the hands are on back oeder!

Mantle clock I am currently working on.
