Cabinets
Knock-down armoire in cherry
I build my armoires like post-and-beam structures. The joinery is mortise and tenon. The pegs that secure the joints are not glued in. By removing the pegs, one can disassemble the entire structure so the sections can be moved piece by piece and put back together at another place. The carving is based on a tree that was in my customer's front yard and that she grew up with.
The design style is Arts and Craft and Chinese.

TV stand with Gothic tracery carving
This cabinet fitted my customer's wish for a TV stand. He wanted it low and the width of his TV with an interior that would house television appurtenances, such as DVR player, cable box, woofer, and a VCR player.
