Just finished this outdoor shower for a home on the Elk River. It was built from cedar using stainless steel fasteners and will last for many years. My clients and I discussed a few designs before deciding on a classic panel and lattice design. It compliments their house and provides privacy while letting in plenty of sunlight and fresh air that makes an outdoor shower such a special experience. Thank you Lea and George, it was a pleasure working with you again!

A recent build of a simple Shaker style cabinet. This was modeled after a piece my customer found online, which wasn't quite the right size and was a little too "distressed" but was overall a good design. This piece was sized for a specific place in the room and features traditional ball end hinges, hand cut dovetailed drawers, and a toggle on the doors which was a classic detail that my customer liked. It took some time to settle on the final vibrant blue, and it looks great with the decor of the home. This is a great example of how a custom piece can be competitively priced with off-the -shelf furniture, and the final product is the exact fit and look for you. Thank you Leslie, it was a pleasure working with you.

Slab table tops made from sections of a maple tree. The tree had sentimental value and my customer wanted three tops made for her children. After thoroughly drying out the slabs (which took over a year) I milled the faces flat, removed the bark, inlaid walnut butterfly joints, sealed with epoxy, and finished with several coats of clear satin varnish. Final sizes were about 24" x 30". Thank you Lea and George for choosing me for this cool project.

Since the start of this school year, I have been teaching woodworking to the high school boys from Aquinas Academy, one of whom is my son Peter. This semester, they built a new altar for use when Mass is said at the school. It was consecrated and used for Mass for the first time last week. The boys did a great job! The Dialogue (Diocese of Wilmington newspaper) had a write-up on it too:

Recently built this mantel on a large stone fireplace. My clients wanted an electrical outlet at the front of the chimney but had no way to route a wire without it being visible, so they proposed a wrap around mantel with the wire hidden underneath. Our final design resulted in a clean, modern shape that complements the scale of the massive stone chimney and the style of the room. It was built from miter-folded white oak plywood and oak veneer, stained and finished in a satin clear varnish. Thank you Tom and Susan for the opportunity to build this for you!
