Custom Cabinets, Shelves, Cases and Other Wooden Creations

Welcome to my site of custom-built wood creations. I will build items like this for you. This diverse collection includes cases, shelves, cabinets, stands, frames, doors and even beds. And they are all being used. None of these creations has been posed in a designer home; they are either shown installed or before being handed over to a family member. Some of those in use are dusty and a few even have cobwebs -- and you'll see how they look in a home with down-to-earth people responding to their own practical needs.

The Vermont Alliance of Independent Country Stores wanted two display shelves for their traveling exhibit, as well as an end cap that could be used for displaying souvenirs or wine. A simple design was made, and a red milk paint was used.

The front shelf edges of the end cap were painted to highlight the products; for the larger shelves, the edges were unpainted so as to become invisible.

The large shelves stand in the living room before being connected with a hinged brace (for travel).

The individual shelves could be lifted out.

The backs were completely covered with solid pine for an old-fashioned cabinet appearance.

All the edges were softened, sanded and painted to avoid sharp edges and accidents.
