New Furniture

GriffDecker

I saw some other furniture posted on the site, so I thought I'd post a couple pieces I built recently. Although the china cabinet looks to be curved, it's just the wide angle lens I used. It's solid oak (oak plywood for the back, top and bottom only) and the front and back face frames are 2" thick oak. It's, uhh, rather heavy. 6 feet wide, 8 feet tall. The cherry highboy is solid cherry except for the back. I'm not a good carver, so the 2 open holes are for carved sunbursts, which will be completed by... the day I die. Both pieces are built with no screws or nails.

Nice!! A carved finial on the highboy?? Are these original designs??

All my designs are original. I usually decide on what dimensions I want, then design from there, keeping functionality as the deciding factor in design. I hope that the wood speaks for itself as far as the "attractiveness" of the piece goes. However, the highboy design was pulled from a magazine cover I saw when I first started woodworking in 1996. I told myself that I wanted to get good enough to build that piece, and I gave it a shot a couple years ago. But the dimensions of the piece were to suit the living space.

Nice legs...on the highboy I mean.

Hope you sign them?? I see a carved American Eagle finial, (top center highboy), above the sunbursts.
