These are two night stands I built for my sister’s guest bedroom. I used the plans from the February 2002 issue of Woodworker’s Journal and modified them to meet my desire for cleaner lines.

Poker Chip Tables
These are two side tables I was asked to make for a group of guys who play poker. The brief was that they had to look like a poker chip.

Intarsia Wall Hangings
I do mainly Intarsia with absolutely no paint or stain or other artificial coloring used – ONLY natural wood colors with a clear finish.

Wine Cabinet and Dresser
The walnut wine cabinet was inspired by the metal doors, with the arch above. It was a wall hanging.

Washroom Wall Cabinets
The carcasses are 1/2″ MDF laminated with 1/4″ birch plywood and the doors are 1/2″ MDF laminated with 1/8″ X 3″ red oak stripes and I used 3/4″ x 3/4″ solid oak on all the door edges.

Coffee/Chess Table
The wood is Walnut, Curly Maple and Red Oak and Walnut burl veneer for the insets on the chess table and on the end table tops.

Cherry Chest
This is a cherry chest I made for my granddaughter. The inlays are maple and walnut.

Red Oak Dresser
I recently built this red oak dresser for my wife. Because of it’s size and weight I had to build it in two pieces.
