Floating Cherry Shelves With Cherry File Drawers
This was an interesting piece and required a bit of engineering to give the customer a "floating shelf" with no visible supports. These shelves varied in size from 12"x22" to 22"x38". Using an aluminum honeycomb core and veneering onto that with shop cut veneers, yielded a very clean look that hides all of the special requirements to support the selves without flexing. The file drawers below contain three vertical rows each of files, making this four drawer file cabinet the equivalent of a twelve drawer unit. Custom fabricated handles with and accent wood routed in give a clean look with no protruding knobs to catch. A hidden compartment was added as a bonus. I'm always researching better ways to make things, whether it's using a high tech aluminum honeycomb with high strength adhesive, or looking back to a little used traditional method that works as well or better than a new method.

Aug 26, 2024What started out as a desire for a custom cutting board designed to fit in my kitchen, turned out to be a piece of art which I will now have to hide from my girlfriend - else lose it to her. This is a beautiful, practical piece of art that will be an heirloom. Great price and woodwork; creative - I will return to Geoff for more!! Jim Amos, US Army Retired.

Aug 15, 2024Geoff was great to work with, and he communicated with me throughout the project. The dog bed came out beautifully and was very well crafted.

Jun 12, 2014This was a fantastic experience! I am so very happy with my project. Top Notch Carpentry are as the name implies. I love my console cabinet, it is exactly what I envisioned. I was also very impressed with the shipping and handling. All of this from across the country without one single phone call or meeting! If you or anyone you know need a specialty cabinetry/carpentry/joinery project, I cannot give these folks a better recommendation. 5 stars all the way across. ??????? I am so happy.
