A little wood working I did...

I was always kinda proud of my cabinetry work on this, but I never could get a picture of it without clutter. Snapped this as we were moving out. Real tin ceiling, all home built cabinets and trim. Really enjoyed building it (except for the sanding - uhg!)

Man, that's pretty. I miss the dark woods used for cabinetry and furniture up North. Down here everything has to be light colors, but dark wood looks so rich.

Very, very nice. Nice to see you using your super powers for "good", and not evil.

Wow, that is some serious craftsmanship there.
Simply awesome work there!

I like that style of cabinetry.
I'm with the rest, it looks awesome [cl

Do you travel?

I'm hoping to get our bathroom and kitchen redone this year.

That is really good work, how long ago did you do this? the furniture style of kitchen cabinets is what everyone wants now. I could have used your skill 10 years ago when I had my cabinet making shop.(to much work for one guy) your eye for scale and style is very good. do you have a back ground in wood working?.....I know you can chop a top!

Very nice Sam! [cl[cl

I know you know all too well, wood is a lot harder to put back together when you cut it too short. No formal training, just like everything I do, I jump in with obsessive persistence.

The house was built in the mid 1800's and renovated into a Victorian cottage later - we have a picture of it from around 1875 with the typical old photo unhappy looking people out in front. I was trying to keep the trim near period correct and the cabinetry as old style as possible. 9' ceilings and all available space used.

The tin ceiling really set it off - not cheap, but well worth it. Thinking of doing tin in the new house too.

Thanks for the comments.

awesome work sam

That is really nice. I never had the patience for wood, that was always my dads thing.

Beautiful work, Sam.[cl What can't you do?

I firmly believe a man can do anything he puts his mind to. Doing it well is a whole 'nother ball of feathers. I decided to become a master at hiding my mistakes.
