This house was the largest job I did while in business. We did ~$250,000 worth of woodwork and cabinetry for this home. All the woodworking in the house was designed and built by me, my brother, and one worker I had. The finish was done by me and my ex-finisher. I miss all of my crew, and wish I had the shop and guys back.
This library is made out of alder hardwoods and plywood. We did the entire room except for the floor. I designed the coffered ceiling as a diamond with the chandelier in the center and can lights around the perimiter. Because I designed everything and had it approved by the homeowner the contractor had to make a lot of changes to his work. The homeowner wasn’t passing along the information so I would get there and have outlets in the way, lights in the wrong place, etc. It was turing into a nightmare.
Here are 2 vanities I did for the clients little girls. They each have their own private bath and walk in closets full of cabinetry. I may post a blog on the entire house once I get more pictures. The homeowner finally sent these to me after almost a year of requests.
The vanities are alder as well and the components are Pearlworks. I stained and finished these personally. I’m dissappointed we didn’t adjust the doors on the first pic to close the gap in the middle. The hinges are euro style and can be adjusted accordingly.
As always I welcome constructive criticism positive or negetive.

After doing remodeling for over 20 years i have found the higher the cost the worst the client. Some people can’t be made happy no matter what you do. Have you ever heard…The last guy didn’t do what i wanted. So you take the job to straighten out their work to find out you can’t make them happy no matter what you do. Hope you the best.

This client was the best client I’ve ever had and we actually became friends. I worked on their home for over a year. I can only wish them the best in their new home. The contractor on the other hand…... I’m just glad that the client came straight to me and I didn’t have to work with him at all.

oh to be able to do that sort of work for a living. I can understand why you would miss it (at the end of the day you know you have left a legacy behind)

Wow! You wrote “As always I welcome constructive criticism positive or negative.” I know we all try to see how things could be done better but how could anyone say something negative about that, just amazing work.

Wow. You have oodles of talent there Keith.
Just seeing it in your mind and putting it to paper must have been a task.
Um . . . I don’t think that last statement came out correctly . . . meant it in a good way. :-)
