    A few of my recent projects

    Well you have seen the Davenport I am currently working on well here are a few more that I have recently completed:-

    Firstly this Rippled European Cherry dresser was completed and delivered just before I started on my Davenport



    European Oak Bookcases with open back



    Circular Mahogany serving tray



    English yew Bracket Clock



    Large Oak Wardrobes with side drawer units



    Charles Rennie Mackintosh Inspired Dining Suite



    Contemporary Oak Dining Suite



    oak Mission Clocks



    Mahogany Bureau



    Ammonia Fumed English Oak Sideboard



    Mahogany Round Head Long Case



    European Ash & Purpleheart Blanket Chest



    Thank you for looking and I hope I havn't sent you to sleep with boredom - I trained traditionally and work alone in my workshop. These pieces have all been designed and made in the last three years.

    If I can offer any assistance or advice I would be more than happy to help any forum members in any way I can.

    Cheers

    Rog

    I love it ALL but I would love to see more detail of the Mahogany Bureau.
    Very impressive three years of work!

    Very lovely and impressive group. Hard to pick a favorite - though I'm quite fond of the Mahogany round clock and the Mackintosh suite .

    Roger, you are a true craftsman, in every aspect! Those are some fantastic pieces. I will go against the majority and put my vote in for the oak mission clocks.

    Do you build from self designed plans? I'd love to see more of your work.

    Not that we are voting, but my vote is for the cherry dresser. I like the clean lines and the wood is gorgeous. All your work is very impressive. Thanks for showing it.

    We're not voting, but my vote is split between the Rippled European Cherry dresser and the Large Oak Wardrobes with side drawer units. I mean just look at the size of those things. Want to make something as good as that one day. You are truly the best furniture craftsman in all of England for sure.

    Great stuff. That looks like a busy three years.

    I guess I am a contrarian, but I prefer the Charles Rennie MacIntosh dining set.

    Gorgeous stuff!! My favorite is the cherry dresser.
    Please post any details that you have on any of your projects. We could all learn a lot from the builder of such fine pieces.
