Reclaimed Wood Bookcase
I found the wood for this medium sized bookcase at a local thrift store. I was a very primitive, large cupboard in heart pine that looked like it had been stored in a barn for decades. What drew me to it were the wide planks and worm holes in the wood which gave it amazing character. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough to create the back paneling. There I used 3/8" thick, pine, v-joint paneling and painted it to give an aged effect.

Great service

I am a lifelong Carpenter/Woodworker/Craftsman focusing on practical solutions for real people using time-honored traditional methods. I have enjoyed an interesting and varied career which has included residential construction, marine construction, varied beach and riverfront dock and deck projects, high end interior trim and mill work installation, stair and balustrade design and installation, and custom built-in design and fabrication. I even had a brief but interesting stint as a set carpenter on a major Hollywood motion picture. I am currently specializing in the design and creation of tables and other furnishings using reclaimed woods and locally milled lumber. If this varied portfolio sparks your interest with other possibilities, I'm interested in hearing your ideas!

For Round Extension Table4.8My new dining room table will be an heirloom. It was easy to put together, beautifully crafted, and looks Wonderful! It functions perfectly for Holidays when extended, and is perfect as circle for two for everyday in Dining nook. Just what I wanted. The wood is beautiful, the finish and craftsmanship are handsome. We had very specific and out of the usual size requirements, and needed fast delivery for Holidays. Norm was easy to work with and offered lots of options and choices. Would recommend him enthusiastically.

For Dining table and bench4.7Norm worked with me to make something that was in my budget that far surpassed what I had expected. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a piece and would certainly use him to do a project again.
