2009 started with a tall cherry "Bistro" table. The table is 36" in diameter and 40" in height. The design is based on early pedestal tables that I have built.
After the table, next came a walnut rocking chair, the second walnut rocker I've made, making for a total of nine
The third item was a "tray" table made of bubbinga and maple. This item was entered in the "Dual Personalities: Multifuctional Contemporary Furniture"at the Grovewood Gallery in Asheville, NC. The top of this table comes off and can be used as a serving tray. The table is still on display at the Grovewood Gallery.
About this time I lucked out and came into the possession of another table saw, and since I wanted keep my old one as well, I ended up building a cabinet to house both saws. Not quite furniture but definitly handy for cutting wood.
Also this year I branched out and made three different bathroom vanities, this particular one went into a master bath in the historic district of West End in Winston Salem, NC. I also made a matching mirror for this vanity.
I also made a series of seven tables made from cherry, maple, birch and walnut. Four of these tables went as a wedding present and the other three were entered into a juried exhibition in Knoxville, TN
Also entered in the exhibition were these two barstools. This was my first attempt at a juried exhibition and I had the good fortune of being accepted. This was only my third exhibition, including the one for the tray table at the Grovewood Gallery.
The exhibition was the 15th Tennessee Master Woodworkers Exhibition in Knoxville, TN. It was a great event and very nice exhibition space. This is my humble display.
This is a bed that I made for delivery early next year, was hoping to put the finish on this year but it looks like I'll finish it up after the holidays.
Finally the last three pieces for 2009 were these tables. The tall sofa table is for one cousin and the two end tables are for another cousin. The walnut for these tables came from the property where my cousins grew up.
