Desk

The desk is fitted to check the assembly.

There are some bolts to attach the stretcher to the legs.

The top is attached to the legs with some wood pieces and screws.

Birth of a Desk

Rough cut lumber at the mill. Some black oak, walnut, and California live oak.

Walnut pieces in the rough form intended for the legs of the desk

Black oak in the rough stage for the table top.  Two book matched pieces.

Black oak after some minor grinding and planing with an electric and manual hand planner.

Wlanut leg after some planning.  It is crotch walnut afterall.

Trapezoidal Coffee Tables

These are the legs of a trapezoidal shape coffee table.  The mortises are cut on the legs and ready for gluing.

                                                                                                                                                                         This was a challenging clamping job since the legsare cut at angles.

                                                                                                                                  

Clamping the top was also not very straight forward because of the trapezoidal shape.

The final product turned out vey nice.  The top is bubinga veneer.  Solid wood is urban mulberry.  High gloss varnish finish.  The tables can be arranged is a variety of configurations to suite the occasion.  Same square footage of area with different footprints.

Necklaces & Plugs

These are some Necklaces and Plugs that my son Adam and I made for fun.  They are Brazillian Rosewood.

Family Room Cabinets

Finally the family room unit is completed.  The tea and coffee center is in full use.  The stereo components and the computer are intergrated with the TV.  The cabinets are a combination made of quarter sawn white urban solid oak and quarter sawn white oak ply wood for pannels, and shelves.  Everything is very functional and has a clean look.

iPhone/iPad holders

These iPhone and iPad holders are made of recalimed Ipe wood.  The idea was inspired by my son.  It is simple but practical and elegant.  The iPad holder has two different angles for different positions. 

Credenza

Completed Credenza. It is a solid piece of furniture at around 200 lbs.  The  "urabn" solid mulberry wood with the combinatioin of walnut veneer and granite top, gives the credenza a unique character and richness.
