Casework & Cabinetry;
CASEWORK OR WHAT IS ALSO REFERED TO AS CABINETRY, HAS MANY DIFFERENT STYLES AND TECHNIQUES.
MY TYPICAL STYLE OF CONSTRUCTION IS TO CONSTRUCT A CARCASS OR FRAME WORK THAT DEFINES THE STRUCTURE AND SHAPE OF THE CABINET. I THEN APPLY THE FACE, FINISHED END PANELS AND ANY OTHER COSMETIC FEATURES AND DESIGN COMPONENTS THAT ARE DESIRED. CABINET SIDES, TOPS, BOTTOMS AND SHELVES ARE TYPICALLY ¾" MATERIAL, BACKS ARE USUALLY ½" ( ALL PLYWOOD NO FLAKE BOARD). SOLID MAPLE DOVETAILED DRAWERS MOUNTED ON SOFT CLOSING UNDERMOUNT SLIDES ARE THE STANDARD
I SPRAY FINISH THIS CARCASS WITH 2 COATS OF A CLEAR AND VERY
DURABLE CONVERSION VARNISH IN A DULL GLOSS (WHICH SIMULATES A HAND OILED FINISH).
THE EXTERIOR FINISHES ARE DICTATED BY THE END PRODUCT DESIRED,
ALL NATURAL, STAINED AND CLEAR COATED, PIGMENTED OR PAINTED, ANTIQUED USING A
NUMBER OF TECHNIQUES TO SIMULATE AN OLD OR DISTRESSED APPEARANCE.
BY CREATING A TRULY CUSTOM DESIGN I CAN USUALLY ACCOMMODATE
ANY LENGTH, ANGLE, HIEGHT, DEPTH, RADIUS, OR OTHER DESIGN REQUIREMENTS TO
MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF WASTED SPACE AND THE NEED TO UTILIZE THINGS SUCH AS
FILLERS ETC.
I TRY TO RESEARCH AND UTILIZE THE FINEST HARDWARE.
WORKING WITH YOU TO ACCOMMODATE WHATEVER STYLE OR
MATERIAL CHOICES YOU MAY DESIRE, AND GIVING MY ADVISE BASED ON EXPERIENCE TO HELP ACHIEVE A STUNNING FINAL PRODUCT WE CAN BOTH BE PROUD OF.

Custom furniture pieces.
This may look similar to the piece on the top of this page but it is actually a mate to the original. You can see the first piece I made in the left of this picture.
This New Piece has the addition of a set of drawers with Curly Maple drawer Fronts, We utilzed Blum undermount drawer slides an Blum" tip on for drawers touch latches".
The Other major difference with this new piece is a Walnut top.
In a few months the Cherry will darken and the home owners can have a chance to adorn the shelves with goodies and this piece will look amazing.
I really Enjoy it when I find clients (or They Find me) that allow me the freedom to be creative.
Thank You Laura & Neil.
