My wonderful wife wanted a different end table other than what we had. After a trip to two different furniture stores she could not find the right table that suited her. So she asked if I could make her one. Duh! All I had was a picture to go by. Through trial and error— wallaa!!
Many thanks to my old shooting buddy and good friend John Burnett at Burnett Heirloom and Antique Restorations in Wi******er, Va for a superb finish.
Red Mahogany stain and lacquer finish.
Some words of advice— don’t ever try to use water based stain— never!! That stuff should be outlawed!!

My son-in-law wanted some Florida Gaters themed corn hole boards for Christmas. I think they turned out great, and so does he!!

My son in law wanted something like this first picture for his duty belt, Kevlar vest, radio, magazines etc… for his office. For those who know me, I’m not going to build something out of cheap pine and look like a 6 year old cobbled it together.
Solid Red Oak with red chestnut stain.
And a superior lacquer finish from John Burnett at BURNETT RESTORATION in Wi******er.
Still have to hang some hardware where he wants it.

A big thanks to John Burnett for the superior quality finish he is known for.
This is one of 3 more tables and chairs, some more cabinets and shelving units I have to make for St Leo’s faith formation group.

A flag holder I made recently for a dear family member from reclaimed American Chestnut. The wood was salvaged from a house being renovated that was built near Gettysburg, Pa. right after the Civil War. No stain used. Just a wood conditioner that really brought out the natural color that made it pop! Clear satin lacquer finish. I’m very pleased with the results.

I’ve been working on a custom project of mine here at home. I made some drawers with roller slides and cherry facings to match my other cabinets. I am redoing my laundry room/pantry. This used to be a utility/broom closet. I just have to trim out the door casing yet then move on to phase 2 on this project. I am very pleased on how they turned out.
And I want to give a big shout out to John Burnett of Burnett Restoration in Wi******er Va. for the superior lacquer finish he did for me on this project!

I had a friend reach out to me awhile back that wanted to know if I could make them a 12’ Joggling Board. To be honest, I’ve never even heard of these before. Apparently it’s a Southern thing. So, here it is. Made out of treated lumber. I certainly hope they will be pleased with it.

Been busy refreshing my deck. I built this deck 20 years ago so it’s time for a redo.
