Modular Toy Castle

$300

Hard white maple. Walls 3/4" thick, 30" long, 10" tall. Corner towers 4" square, 14" tall. Castle towers 8" square, 16" tall. Crenellations, window and door details, box joint corners to evoke block construction. Finished with non-toxic lacquer. This was a great project- I essentially got to build the castle I would have wanted as a kid. Scaled to fit my client's existing toy collection, the castle itself is a joy to play with. The corner towers have mortise tracks for the tenons of the walls to fit into, allowing a variety of setups: a traditional box castle, a long wall, two opposing keeps. Two walls have doors that match up with the doors of the castle towers, and two have a row of windows. All walls have shelves for figures to man the battlements. Castle towers are open on one side, with a shelf that lines up with the tops of the walls. All edges are eased for kids's safety and comfortability of handling- this was built to last generations,

Furniture, woodturnings, installations, and reproductions. Made in Grand Rapids with solid wood and love.

I came to furniture and woodworking the long way through general construction, spending many years rehabbing urban rowhomes on the staff of Sandtown Habitat for Humanity in Baltimore, where I was forced to think abstractly and learned to love solving problems and working within restricted budgets.

This translates well to the work I do now, where the projects I love taking on the most involve critical thinking, imagination, and the challenge (and joy) of finding just the right solution to a tricky situation. The projects I love best involve elements I've never done before, which both make me a better carpenter and produce my most creative works.

I try my best to use sustainably harvested and local lumber, or reclaim lumber from barns, houses, and factories around me. I use solid hardwoods, not only for their natural beauty, but because it fits best with my own woodworking philosophies of building to last generations and reflecting the natural properties and character of different wood species. I aim for simplicity and elegance in my work, employing traditional joinery when it's needed, not simply for ornament. I love what I do, and hope you do too.
