inauguration day, custom orders

Here is a custom order coffee table, built for a "machine label" collector. It is a shadow box type construction, a thick piece of glass sits on top. Here is a photo of the table without the glass. I like this idea, I have some old cast iron pieces that would look nice displayed like this. Here is a photo of one of these pieces. My website is down for a couple of weeks, hopefully it will be back up soon. It has to be rebuilt, there were some problems and the web developer wants to start over. Enjoy the inaugurtion everybody.

Cabinets

Here are four cabinets sold to Graves Country, a contemporary folk art gallery located in Lodi, Ca. (see link). Roff Graves is the owner, he loves my work and has a very impressive collection of folk art. The green shutters I bought at Alameda point antique fair, they have hand forged hardware on them, very old I believe. The tall cabinet has a triangular top created from an old corbel wih a sunburst motif. The door I built of recycled beadboard inserting an old stained glass window into the top, and adding some fun embellishments below, some architectural fragments an an old pink depression glass lid I picked up at some flea market yeas ago. The hutch I built from scratch around a set of cabinet doors rescued from a victorian remodel dumpster in Vallejo,
Ca. The last one pictured, I made the door from a stained glass
window with a tulip motif, adding some interesting victorian hardware, architecural fragments and some old stove legs for the feet.
