This wardrobe is the match to last week's post of the side tables. Fabricated in rift cut White Oak, this piece is the perfect warming complement to the pitched ceiling of this serene and minimal bedroom.

This wardrobe is the match to last week's post of the side tables. Fabricated in rift cut White Oak, this piece is the perfect warming complement to the pitched ceiling of this serene and minimal bedroom.

The best way to spend a wintery morning is by the fire. This is the right side of the Blue Mountain chalet hearth. Solid rift cut white oak and convertible, this mid century nod (along with some other lovely pieces) was designed and commissioned by the wonderful @blacksheepid .

This left side of a fireplace surroundings was fabricated in rift cut White Oak. Lovely ash can storage. Ahhh, sunshine at the chalet.

Commissioned by wonderful clients and fellow makers, this Baltic Birch hutch was done in a traditional sense with Modernist and Scandinavian touches. To have one's work requested and acknowledged by a fellow artisan is so inspiring and humbling.

This convertible dining/games table was requested by a kind professional couple who love a good food and a great quest or campaign for dessert.

This convertible dining/games table made of Walnut with brass hardware and drink holders was a fun one to fabricate. I'm a big fan of multi- use pieces with intent. This one will conceal a new Dungeons and Dragons campaign as Thanksgiving dinner is served this weekend. I'm told there will be jigsaw puzzle madness in between the campaigns.

A wonderful couple approached me with an idea for their dream entertainment console. 14 feet of walnut, slatted touch-latch doors, sliding bottoms with 8" hidden storage of electrical and media, and very pretty cable management holes on the top. Jack and I finished the installation this week, and everyone is happy with the result.

A most lovely couple asked me to make this hutch as a coffee station and storage feature in their bright and spacious kitchen. It was a pleasure. They are a pleasure. I'm so grateful I have the opportunity to do what I do for good people.

This modern-styled hutch was commissioned by a powerhouse designer/maker couple. Fabricated in Hemlock to match the architectural woodwork of their converted church condo, it features a custom zinc countertop, restoration glass for the sliding doors, sliding interior drawers, and door latch with copper flourish. The piece is to serve many purposes including a bar, drink prep area, as well as a hidden kitty commode with gasketed door.

This commission started simple, and as we discussed the space, scale, and materials, it grew to this. I'd like to mention the local suppliers/makers that helped this project along, as they were all so helpful and their work was perfect.

This minimalist Scandinavian-inspired banquette was designed to blend into the thoughtfully appointed home it lives in, as well as functioning as storage and portable dining room seating for the lovely family that commissioned it.

The Grey Mountains project called for several pieces throughout the home. This piece is the Tray Table in solid rift-cut white oak with upholstered pedestals. A lovely addition to the Sun room on the side of Blue Mountain.

After 16-months of seasoning, these Maple cookies from a tree felled on the client’s property were transformed into this unique side table. The bark was removed, Baltic Birch spacers were set and finished with a mixture of clear and super-white VOC-friendly oil.

This Japanese-inspired low-platform bed in Western Red Cedar, Sapele, and highly figured domestic Black Walnut was designed to be the natural complement to the Cedar strip feature wall.

This mid-century modern queen bed frame was made with locally-sourced prime Black Walnut, seasoned at the shop for nearly a decade. Slatted Baltic Birch mattress support not shown.

During a visit to the homestead shop, this client spotted a freshly-finished White Oak version of this bench asked if we could make one for her in Sapele to match the entertainment console we were working on for her. We love that the bench is the welcome and goodbye to friends and family.

This recent work made use of a small family eating area. The leather upholstered banquette with Walnut base has two charging/power stations and a drawer for cables and devices. The table is flat sawn Ash stained with a black matte oil. I formed and inset the brass sabots as complimentary booties to the wonderful choice of tile.

After a thorough and thoughtful renovation of an old church, these clients chose the Sorauren bench in White Oak to furnish their primary bedroom. It belongs in that spot.

A lovely couple dropped by the shop with a weathered mid-century modern plywood chair designed and fabricated by the family patriarch in 1955! We repaired the original (for posterity) and fabricated two more as new additions to the family heirloom legacy.

We can’t think of a better gift than a surprise White Oak ladder shelf with copper dowel details, commissioned with love for the recipient’s array of beloved photos and family heirlooms

This mid-century modern White Oak sideboard was a challenge in scale, as the space it now lives in is tight. With turned legs and copper rod pulls, it strikes the perfect balance of understated prominence in a small condo.

With champagne powder-coated steel bases and thirty-five-year-old Walnut boards from the family barn storage, these two amazing side tables take a place of prominence, in their new, ultra-modern home.

This Scandinavian-inspired kitchen nook with floating stowage banquette and laminated Baltic Birch and Maple trestle table is so inviting and cozy. It’s perfectly complemented with the family's mid-century modern vintage and fabricated knowing two inquisitive little ones love to climb.

Cut from domestic highly-figured curly White Ash, this pair of book-matched side tables sit upon Witch's Broom cold-rolled steel legs with waxed cold-rolled steel base and copper flourishes.

This dining table was laid up with locally sourced Walnut veneer to match the solid material from the client's homestead.

This 10-foot Mahogany hi-fi credenza was a joy to make. The clients completely gutted and renovated their condo and we were honoured to make a few special pieces for them. The left top lifts open to allow the turntable to do its thing.

In a small downtown condo, dinner is easily followed by games night as this hearty Black Cherry convertible table unfolds to reveal a rich red pool table felt in a recessed games area. The finger hole at the center is a convenient lift for the conversion.

Clare at Rusty Girl asked me to provide a quartersawn White Oak top, inked and top coated in this brilliant poppy colour, for a piece she designed and fabricated. It is a beautiful piece in its scale and simplicity.

This 'wake board' top is a stunted ellipse with a 15° bevel in 5/4 rift-cut White Oak, resting on an authentic reproduction of Saarinen's iconic Tulip base. This lovely family will eat, drink, work, study, laugh, and surf in this corner of their home for years to come.

This Atomic Age hi-fi record cabinet will showcase vintage electronics and vinyl. The Monocoat oil finish dramatically reveals the depth of the Sapele.

This European White Oak dining table was finished in a custom mixture of Pure, Natural and Nordic Super White VOC-friendly oil to retain and highlight its bright warm natural look. The steel base in complex polygons is a compliment to the fabulous home in which it rests.

With slim, elegant legs and dowelled stretcher, the scale of this high-top Cherry wood kitchen table works perfectly in a tight condo space. Finished in Danish oil and with copper flourishes.

This Maple table was assembled to highlight the epoxy pour over a beautiful inclusion on the breadboard end. The unsequenced 'Parson's waterfall' leg was a longtime wish realized for the client.

This rare 4' × 9' locally-sourced Spruce slab is a true beauty. The checks and inclusions left natural, without epoxy, as a rustic juxtaposition to the stunning modernist home. The matte powder-coated steel trestle helps the slab float in situ.

At the beginning of this year's boating season, a client asked for a convertible galley table with a telescopic base for his neat cabin cruiser. This piece is crafted from Acacia wood with Soss hinges and stainless cup holders.
