Home Show

We're doing the home show this year! It's at the Oregon Convention Center for hours and a $2 off coupon, follow this link

We're sharing booth space with Josh Farrand of Eight Inch Nails Construction, and Clint Howes of Revive Construction. We hope you'll come by and say hi.

We have a few items displayed at the booth. The top picture is of the big old-timey hutch with the wine storage in the columns, colored glass and inset flush doors and drawers. This piece is made almost entirely of reclaimed fir lumber.

The second picture is of a dark stained alder cabinet with a clear finished alder top.

The third picture shows Josh's eyebrow dormer. Josh took a class from an East Coast craftsman to learn how to build them, and we've received a lot of positive feedback about it at the show. You can also see Clint's reclaimed fir garden bench which is being raffled off. Second prize is a bird house.

Between the three of us, we can build almost anything. No visitor to our booth has stumped us yet.

An Engineering Marvel

Okay, okay, this desk doesn't include any structural breakthroughs, but it is big, and it is for an engineer.

Marc wanted to be able to lay out plans without completely obscuring his desk. I think we've accomplished that goal. This puppy is 120" long and 66" deep.

We hashed through several ideas of how to treat the corners before arriving at the curved edge on the top and the angled ends on the modesty panel.

For those of you keeping score, the wood is knotty alder with a custom matched stain. The top material is plastic laminate by Wilsonart "Luna Night".

The entertainment center/bookcase in the top picture is also from Saratoga Woodworks, as is the window seat barely visible toward the right of the picture.
