Wood Duck is Complete!

We just completed a kayak design by Eric Shade, the Wood Duck 12.   The deck is strip built of California redwood and Eastern White Pine and the hull is Okume marine plywood.  She is 12 feet long and weighs just 36 pounds.

Dining Room Table

This customer originally asked us to repair a water-damaged dining room table.    After looking it over, it was obvious that the only salvagable part of the table was the legs.   So, we glued-up some vertical grain douglas fir to match their kitchen cabinets, and built a new base using the old legs.   Here is the result:

Offices and Bookshelves

Well-equiped offices are becoming a popular feature of many homes and every good office needs bookshelves!   Here are a few photos of recent office and/or bookshelf units that we have completed, most often in conjunction with other residential cabinetry such as kitchens or baths.

Wood Duck Kayak

This is a hybrid design kayak, meaning that it has a marine plywood hull and a strip-built deck.    The advantage with this design by Eric Shade, is that you get the speed of building with plywood and the beauty of cove and bead strips.    In this boat, we are using California redwood and Eastern White Pine for the deck.

Quilting Table

On this project, we were asked to create a quilting work station that could be placed in the family room and closed up to look like a piece of furniture.   Our customer designed the interior space and we matched up the exterior to their existing cherry kitchen and dining room cabinetry.   Over time, this cherry piece and its clear finish will darken to match the home’s existing woodwork perfectly.
