Tree to Tables

In past postings, I have mentioned that my big guy makes furniture. Not just furniture but beautiful furniture. A couple of years ago, my mother gave him two cherry trees from her property. We had them rough cut and dried them in our basement. (Our coal stove is located in the basement.)

Throughout our house, you will find 2 end tables, a sofa table, 2 book shelves, and a round table. They are all beautiful. Plain and simple – shaker style or mission, and as they age, they develop that deep, dark gorgeous cherry color. The grain in each piece is amazing. I am a lucky lady to have solid wood furniture in our house. He also made other furniture pieces that were given to family members.

Currently, he is using the last of the cherry wood to make two benches. His lumber rack is almost empty and he is fretting. He tells me he is going to cut down some of our walnut trees. This time, I believe he is serious as he has been working in his shop and showed me the blades he needs to have sharpened before we hear “timber”. I love his hobby as he has talent and patience. Thus his finished products are beautiful and well worth the wait. Here are a few pictures…





Sorry, we are not taking orders at this time, but check back in a few years!
