This was a large bar for a large lake house. Made from Alder and heavily distressed. Customer/Designer wanted the look of an old bar from an old hotel. Lots of appliances were built in with a large range under the mirror which conceals a TV. (The TV shows through the mirror when it is turned on.) Mortise and tenon joinery throughout and at last count, approximately 400 of them went into the bar. The canopy is lit underneath and the inside of the canopy has copper panels between the coffers. The panels were patinated and then distressed to give that "years of smoke" look. The date is hand carved on the canopy panel as a reminder of the construction of the house. The bar top is 2" ash and distressed also.

For Wooden desk trayAndrew did an excellent job from start to finish. I started the project with a somewhat vague idea of what I wanted; Andrew provided some very helpful suggestions for design, material and finish. He produced very high-quality work on time and on budget, and kept me posted on progress throughout. I'd enthusiastically recommend Andrew to anyone looking for woodworking.

For walnut nightstandAndrew was excellent to work with. I supplied a couple pictures of a similar piece along with some details specific to my application. He quickly turned around some plans and selected some beautiful local walnut for the project. He even made the interior shelf out of the same walnut even though I did not specify that in the initial discussion. Excellent attention to detail. Communication was excellent, and he met (or exceeded) every deadline we had discussed. I will surely use Andrew again in the future. Thanks so much Andrew, we expect to have this piece in our family for a long time.
