Featured Creation
Walnut Wall Hanging Cabinet
This Walnut floating shelf features 3 drawers with a ceruse finish. When the client asked if I could do a ceruse finish I was skeptical that it would look good. The basic process is to rub white, or in this case off white paint into the grain of the wood making it stand out. I am still a fan of the natural walnut look, but I have to say the cerusing really did pop the grain and make the features stand out. It is a stunning look.
If you want to find out more or see additional pictures of this project you can do so on my website under Custom Foyer Wall Cabinet
I’m still accepting commissions for mid 2019 if you would like to commision a piece of custom furniture or art. Just head over to my website for details.
Upcoming Exhibitions

10am – 2pm Sunday
Black Forest Community Center
12530 Black Forest Road
Colorado Springs, CO 80908
This show is hosted by the Black Forest Art and Crafts Guild, a portion of the proceeds goes to a college scholarship fund which is awarded annually to a local graduating high school senior.I will not have any furniture in this show, but it will feature my scrap wood projects. I gather up all the scrap wood left over from my furniture projects and build cribbage boards, cutting boards, boxes and whatever else I can think of. It has been a great way to clean up the shop and raise some money to fund other art projects, as well as help send a young mind to collage.

Foyer Wall Cabinet build from Walnut and a ceruse finish
I’ve had a bunch of questions about my veneer bag system, so I made a little video out of it. If you want to build this jig I do have plans on my blog
I had the honor of designing and building the reception desk for the Hunter Wolff Gallery in Old Colorado City. Stop by and take a look at it, and all the other wonderful art in this Gallery. It is by far the nicest gallery in Southern Colorado.
