This is a picture of courtroom bench showing the bench, witness stand and stenographer station. The county built an addition onto the courthouse involving a new courtroom for my court. I volunteered to build all of the furniture and do the rest of the woodwork. In the foreground is one of the counsel tables.

This is a picture of the judges' bench I designed and constructed for the courtroom I preside in. I also made the witness stand, a stenographer workstation, two counsel tables and wainscoating that goes around the entire interior of the room plus two partitions. I volunteered over 1400 hours of labor in this project.

This is a picture of the witness stand in the courtroom. The panels are raised panel construction. I made the dentil work and coped work. All of the woodwork is made from red oak, stained with Minwax Early American stain and has 3 coats of polyurethane.

These counsel tables were made from plans in a book. I designed the remainder of the woodworking projects. In the background you can see a portion of the wall that divides off the jury box.

This is one of my Windsor Chairs. I made a set of six for our kitchen. The chairs are made entirely by hand using only hand tools (no power) such as drawknives and spokeshaves.

This is a cherry cedar chest. The drawers at the bottom actually work instead of being ornamental like many you see in stores. The corners of the chest are dovetailed.

This is a solid oak corner cupboard. It is about 7 ½ feet tall. The windows are of antique glass. This was a Christmas present for my wife, Karen, a couple of years ago.

This gun cabinet is of oak. It holds 8 guns although it could hold more. It is designed to be modified into a china cupboard.



This is really nice solid oak slant top desk made for my mother. The front on the desk folds down to make the writing surface. It can be made to lock. It can also have an additional cabinet (with either glass or wood fronted doors) attached to the top. When we toured Williamsburg, VA we saw lots of these period pieces from Revolutionary times.



Another oak cabinet. This one mounts on the wall in a corner. Little cabinets like this can also be made to mount on a flat wall.



In addition to these projects, I also make letter openers, pens, kaleidoscopes, recipes boxes, jewelry boxes and many other items.
