With an extra-tall back and arms wide enough to hold a drink, this chair will be comfortable for hours and durable for years.

This shallow table was designed for an entryway as a place for keys, mail, etc.

 

This flexible bookshelf can function against a wall or as room divider.  The six unconnected units can be swiveled around to face either directions.  Stacked together, they remain sturdy. Most of the wood was reclaimed lumber, which provided an interesting variety of grain and texture.  A very dark stain kept all the parts looking cohesive.

This headboard was a solid wood door that I rescued and stripped.  With some added molding and support, it became a rustic headboard for a cottage in Northern Michigan.

This was built for a tall, narrow bedroom in which the owner needed to reach high shelves and climb into a lofted bed.  The stool maintains stability on a tight footprint and the carpeted top provides comfort and traction.  The stool is also made entirely of leftovers; the wood from a nearby construction site, the carpet cut from a sample, and the grey paint left over from the shelving in the same room.

For this rental apartment, fixing or replacing the unfortunate-looking radiator was not an option. The radiator still worked, so the best solution was to simply hide it.

The Radiator cover was built using reclaimed structural lumber.  The imperfections of the wood help the piece look right at home in this century-old building, while the simple forms add a modern touch.  Openings at the top and base keep the heat flowing efficiently.
