another sideboard

this mahogany sideboard looks pretty happy 

in its new home on lake george ...

team design with the clients to accommodate their storage needs 

lots of mortises and tenons

and some interesting intersections

and all the wood came from one 21" x 13' plank of mahogany from irion lumber ..

some dovetailed drawers

and weare ready for hinges, hardware, stain and finish

this sideboard joins two other pieces we made
last year for this boathouse on lake george.

for a fascinating description of part of its renovation
here is a link to a blog post entitled
'adventures in underwater construction'

it sits completely in the lake with only a small 'causeway' connecting it ot land

we also made this custom walnut game table with a
compass rose inly

happy new year

well ok !!  it's 2018 !!  a new year is underway.

I usually write something thoughtful, but i think this year i'll

just post some appreciative pictures of where i live and work ...

i was looking back through my work photos (which i will slide show soon)

and the nature photos caught my eye over and over again.

i am so lucky to live here even though it was minus16 at 7:00 this morning, and it

is about 8 below outside now .. 

as they say, 'you don't like the weather in vermont? just wait a minute.'

my friend cook and i were reminiscing last week while we were indoor golfing about a

time in january in the early 80s where it went from 10 below to the mid 60s in 

about 30 hours .. whiplash!

anyway, here's some nature for ya from the 10 acres we call home ..

there is beauty all around us ...
