Coffee Maker Stand With Keurig K-Cup Drawer
This project was born out of a need to experiment with some reclaimed lumber. It was completely custom designed from scratch and built using reclaimed mahogany lumber. This particular design hold 25 K-Cups, but the design and lumber choice could be customized to match any decor and to fit any counter space. The K-Cup insert is also removable so that the drawer could be used to hold coffee pods or even packs of coffee. Personally, I think this project would look great in just about any type of lumber. It's big enough that even the busy grain of oak and ash would look good, but also small enough for Cherry, Walnut or any other tight grained lumber. This project is finished with clear urethane and then waxed with a black bison wax to bring out the grain. As shown, this project would be $120. The lumber was reclaimed from a Local 1970s Hotel that was torn down in 2012. Rather than let the lumber be bull-dozed over and sent to a landfill, I managed to get in and salvage it. Check out the pictures of the lumber as it looked after being removed and prior to cleanup.

Maker of unique custom made gifts and furniture using quality materials and hardware. I firmly believe that the feel of a woodcrafted item is as important as how it looks. Perfectly fitting drawers, doors and lids combined with high quality hardware make a project feel luxurious. It's the difference between a fine woodcraft and a decoration you might find at a craft fair. Most of my projects are finished with a clear finish. This is because I don't like to hide anything and prefer to let the quality materials show through.
Since I started woodworking, I have believed that lumber selection is most important aspect in building a piece of furniture. I have spent countless hours sifting through piles of salvaged lumber or climbing stacks of lumber at the lumber mill in order to find the perfect boards for a project. I have never simply taken what the lumber guy hands me. If I can't look, smell and touch the lumber and select it myself, I will not purchase from that supplier.
Whether a standard design or a custom piece of furniture, I believe every item that I make will become a cherished family heirloom.
