    A Few Recent Pieces

    Hey guys, I have been pretty busy lately and haven’t been posting much but I figured I would post a few of my recent pieces. As you can probably tell from the photos I love figured woods. I still need to have the photo work done to a few so forgive the wonderful background. If you want construction or finish details on any of these feel free to ask. I actually did a 225 page tutorial on the highboy with about 300 photos. I would have posted it here but the last time I posted a tutorial there just didn’t seem to be any interest so I just figured it wasn’t worth taking up the server space.

    Here is a William and Mary lowboy



    Chippendale Secretary





    Chippendale bonnet top highboy



    Curly oak and walnut table


    A few Hoyt chest on frames





    A Newport kneehole desk




    A Mass. Block front chest



    A William and Mary highboy




    I have close-ups and detail views along with construction photos of most of the pieces too if anyone wants to see those

    Wow!

    I really like the oak and walnut table. How did you cut the legs?

    Hey Dave, you're starting to show some promise.

    I really love the William and Mary highboy.

    Dave, that makes me feel a little warm inside to know that pieces like that can be made by hand. Absolutely gorgeous. The chippendale secretary is my favorite out of them all. But I would have every one of those in my house!

    Thanks for posting those photos. I for one would very much appreciate any level of detail you can share regarding the construction of your pieces (past or present).
