Jaimie & Joe's Farm Table and Benches Ready for Stain

George finished making Jaimie & Joe's Cedar Farm Table and Benches.  He put an edge around the table.  He made the benches solid, with three legs - with triple 4 x 4's.  Pictures of their table and benches - before being stained - are below.  (Jaimie and Joe will put the finish on their table and benches.)

Who is that masked man???



Here is a picture of the benches - one stacked upon the other.
He wanted them to be child proof - solid & unable to be tipped over.

Hand Carved Ship Cabinet - Finished

We bought this cabinet at Storage Auction Liquidators.  The color of the cabinet didn't go with our furniture, so we put a rustic, Bombay Mahogany finish on it.  I put a Spanish Copper Rub & Buff on the hand carved ships, but it is too dark.  I'll need to put a different copper finish on them later on, so they "pop."

Farm Table for Jaimie & Joe

Jaimie and Joe asked George to make them an outdoor farm table for their patio.  Jaimie sent us the plans.  George made it out of white Cedar.  Most of the screws are hidden underneath the table top.  George put extra bracing on underneath the table top, too.

George will make them 2 benches to go with their table later on.  Jaimie & Joe are going to stain it when they get it home.

Woodworking is a hobby for George.  He enjoys making things for family and friends.
