An over fridge wine rack.

Finishing up a large knotty alder library that’ll be capped with crown.

Working on a display case/cabinet with sliding doors for a local retailer. Fun job!

Chris and I finished the two-tier island. The damper was a bit of a challenge, but we figured it out. That's what I love about what I do - every project have difficulties that require a creative solution.

An island bar with adjustable shelving and a hard maple countertop (still in progress) Chris and I are working on for the Riverside RV Park in Bayfield, CO. Just need to add the bar flap that I am completing in the shop.

Built this gate and cladded the bar with Cedar...

Another rolling cart for the Himalayan Kitchen here in Durango. This one was a bit larger than than the last one.

Finished our fireplace bump-out with custom bookcase/cabinets & mantle.

Working with Chris Krug (local contractor and friend) on this one. We're framing out a fireplace accent wall, to include: shiplap, mantle, TV mount, component niche and two 36" x 7' custom cabinet / bookshelving units.

Here's a recent job that was a fun challenge - medical adjustment tables. Had to build 6 of them for a local client.

I've done a lot of work for Outdoorsy - an RV rental company with an outpost here in Durango. This is one of two 3-panel pegboard displays I made for them. Each panel will be used by a local business in order to advertise.

This was a cool project for a local business - The Himalayan Kitchen. They needed a rolling cart to hold plates for their buffet. Also, needed a small storage shelf.

Been pretty busy here in Durango. Completed this 60" vanity about a month ago. Full grain-wrap, overlay soft-close doors and an oak towel rack.

Just completed this ash coffee table with iron pipe legs. Toned it Java and coated with a satin topcoat. I think satin poly is my new favorite finish - the pearl-like sheen is beautiful.

Banquette completed and installed...

Building a banquette with a 32” soft close drawer. Nearly completed and close to install.

Just built/delivered this palette wall divider for a local Durango business. Not a big fan of palette wood. I always end up with a hand full of splinters.

First Durango CO job. A photo booth that looks like a travel trailer for Outdoorsy: https://www.outdoorsy.com.

I have officially closed my shop down in Cincinnati/NKY and have moved to Durango CO. I will be setting up and starting my business around mid-August. So very excited to be here!

Recent build -a set of reclaimed pine pantry doors with caned panels. It was an interesting project - never caned before. Really like the result! Just needs some door handles.

Just installed this wall-mounted drop-down bar I built for the Gallery at Gumbo in OTR. This is what I love about my job - No two projects are ever the same.

This guy's done so much for me, thought I'd repay him with a wooden sign of his logo. Thanks, Mark Collier of Ft. Thomas Matters!

Working on hand-carving...gotta say -wee bit tiring. I do love the smell of the cedar shavings I’ve made. Saving them for a future campfire.

Just finished rebuilding this 9' monster of a farm table. The table had many cracks on the top due to seasonal expansion/contraction as a result of improper construction. It was, also, not level/square, required additional height and breadboard ends. All in all, it was a fun project and pleasure to complete.

Just finished transforming this dreary old coat closet into a new functional space for a client, includes: 2 floating shelves, cabinets and countertop. Hopefully, it'll faithfully serve this home for generations to come.
