April 28: Photo Shoot


Candlestick table -- top and feet are cherry
with an ash pedestal or spindle  - eventually
the wood differences will be much more
noticeable as they age
We tried our hand at taking more professional photos of Kevin's furniture pieces.  We have a long way to go to produce photos like Amanda's but we are pleased for a first attempt.  Eventually, there will be a website and a more complete description of each piece.  The explanations for today are based on my understanding of what he has done.



Wall hung tool cabinet to house Kevin's planes, chisels,draw knives, spoke shaves,
and scrapers  - the case is made of maple with cherry used for tool holders, etc.


The rocker is fashioned after a combback Windsor.
The rockers, seat, armrests and crest rail are made of
cherry.  The legs, and spindles are made of ash.

Over time the rockers, seat, arm rests and
crest rail will darken to a richer cherry color.

Note the detail on the arm.  It is designed this way to ensure that
there is no undue stress on various parts of the arm and back
