The Crib is Completed!!

Yay!! The Crib is done!!It has been a long process, but well worth it. The piece is made of solid walnut legs, hard maple for all of the body of the crib, and slats are done with mahogany inlay.

Below are the rest of the process photos for finishing the crib. Keep in touch for next week when I will post studio photos of the finished work, and photos of the piece in it's home.

Floating Cherry Wall Shelf

Here is a quick little project I did for a client. A small wall box shelf made of cherry wood, with mitered corners reinforced with wooden splines. It hangs on a french cleat, for a clean look with no hardware showing.

More progress on the crib

 More progress on the crib! Getting close to done! Photos below show more process photos of the piece being built. Organizing pieces together and figuring out hardware so I can finally get the piece standing up! Also, I got a new studio space! A little area all to myself with a workbench i whipped up and my toolbox, those pictures are at the end.

Progress on The Ana Crib

For those who don't know, I am building a crib! It is a collaborative design between myself and the clients, who are also both designers! The legs are made from solid walnut, with hard maple sides. There is also some mahogany inlay work into the faces of the crib. Here is the first round of photos, with pieces slowly coming together,stay tuned for more updates

Now, for way too many pictures of a teeny-tiny crib. Also, some wood being cut and some things being glued and some epic dado action.
