Office desk



Mission accomplished! Customers asked for a 10 x 2 foot workstation desk to fill their home office wall. It was also important to be able to slide the office chair from side to side. Mouse holes allow the power cords to disappear. Again, as usual, all reclaimed Douglas fir wood.

Amsterdam table revisited




I love the contrast between the darker legs and lighter top. All the wood is Douglas fir. The thick legs show beautiful exposed end grain.


Wine Country Table update

Mortise and tenon construction

This year our customers allowed us to build several more Wine Country tables. Above you can see what traditional mortise and tenon construction looks like. After it is glued up, it makes one of the strongest joinery methods known. For larger tables I recommend m&t construction.
Amy Doan did a very nice write up of our work in the Oregonian. The full story is here:
Thanks Amy!
