to allow movement. Leg tops are carved with a gouge.

A coffee table in tiger maple and purple heart. The transverse stretchers float to
allow for wood movement.
Coffee table of beautiful Honduras mahogany made for friend Joe McIntosh.
2 3/4 inches thick with the largest dovetails I have made.
I
made the pine sea chest for the Spirit Of South Carolina project. Later modified with an
acrylic insert and slot for fund railing.
A foyer mirror with a canvasback duck carving. Duck is cherry and frame is walnut. The idea resulted from a mirror with a broken corner. I also made the stained glass windows.
Entry door in mahogany. We live in Oriental, thus the oriental dragon.
A hand mirror in curly maple. I make these as wedding gifts relatives,
friends and daughters of friends.
Music and jewelry boxes. The first one is of tiger maple. The others are of Bahamian mahogany with an Osage orange burl top panel. Tab is Brazilian rosewood and bottom panels are spruce. The mahogany was scavenged from Andros Island in the Bahamas. The log was pulled out of a huge termite hill and was likely felled in a 1938 hurricane. Termites could not penetrate the heartwood. It is the only wood I have ever found that starts out brown and turns red in sunlight. All other "red" woods go the other way. Like many tropical hardwoods, the density is greater than water.
Tambour jewelry box of pecan. A rare piece in that I did not design it but
adapted and enlarged from Fine Woodworking Magazine. Since the jig work
was extensive, I made nine of them as presents for my nieces and, as always, one
for Liz.
.
A shaving horse made from 2x6 yellow pine. All elements are adjustable to fit
individual. Adapted from a similar design found on the net. Work in barrel
are spindles for Windsor chairs
Toys made for Pamlico County tots.
A two story winding stair in our home. Made from ash and cherry with white
cedar paneling. The stringers and handrails are 9 laminated ash layers.
The most technically demanding woodworking project I have done. Won't do
another one.
An intarsia picture of a local sprits'l cat ketch. Ash sunrays, cherry
sun, wallnut hull and masts, pine sails, and incense cedar waves. Gull and
