My last post showed two chest of drawers made from several types of wood. Well, I have now finished and put in place the whole package, which is a his and hers, side by side, chest with cabinet toppers. The cabinet toppers are made of the same wood types as the chest along with the added feature of leaded, stained glass doors. I did do the glass panels for the doors. The two pictures show the same thing in different light. Again, one of a kind, very different, either love or hate it, and I would understand. ;-)

So - a while since posting. I have been working mostly on cabinets and vanities that are very much like the cabinetry you see everyday. However, I did make a couple of boxes lately that are posted here. One is Curly Maple with Black Walnut trim and the other is Cherry with Maple trim. Both are finished with clear lacqeur, lined with Aromatic Red Cedar, and have felt on the bottem and top, inside. Pretty little things and useful. ;-)

I have made two flags from the work surface and supporting 2x4s. This was my main work surface for some years. Lots of pieces of furniture, cabinets, speciality woodworking projects were assembled, glued, and finished on this surface. It has all the scars from this time of use. I made a large flag 60.25in x 33.25in, and a smaller one 33in x 19.5in. They are both pretty much to scale to an official flag. I painted the flag on the surface and framed each one with the 2x4s that supported the surface between two work horses.
All of the dings, cuts, holes and splotches are authentic, nothing added. They are interesting, rustic, and stand for the hard work that the working citizens of this country do. And --- they are for sale. The large on is $225 and the small one is $150. The 1st picture is the smaller flag and the 2nd picture is the larger flag. ;-)

A few day ago I posted a pic my pickup bed loaded with panels for new doors and drawer fronts for a bath remodel. The handyman that I worked with did the install and he sent a picture of the upgrade. This bath is in an older condo and was really dated. Now, just about everything has been redone and the new cabinet doors and drawer fronts give the room a classy, sleek look. ;-)
