Ive been locked out of this page for while for some reason, but finally got it resolved.
We’re still here doing some cool projects.
Wrapped up an addition in yellow springs, currently on a nice master bath for some of my favorite people, a custom arts and crafts door for an historical one room school house, some built in bookcases for a great couple and have some really cool projects ahead of us.

One small detail on a current project. I’m looking forward to posting this project in its entirety, But the details are what make any project. Matched existing Bruce Red oak hardwood, but it wouldn’t be proper if we didn’t add some sort of detail.
Traditional picture frame with a parallel inset for the dining room.
Historically, a picture frame floor install was meant to accent a rug. Rugs were for the wealthy.
Rugs are still cool, but not as cool as the wood install.

Rookwood Pottery tile just completed on this one. One custom drawer to install, and this one is finished.
Rookwood has been hand crafting since thanksgiving day in 1880. Chances are, most of the historical tile you’ve seen in our area that you fell in love with, was made by them. They are still hand crafted today.
The cabinetry is designed and provided by The Requarth Co. - Supply One Kitchen Showroom. Another staple in our local history. Requarth was founded in 1860, provided lumber for the Wright brothers airplane, survived the flood of 1913, and is still providing superior products and service today.
I’m honored to have been invited into this home and have gotten to be a part of bringing this families vision to life, using historic staples of our local areas.

Completed yesterday. Custom made rails and newel posts in an arts and crafts/ craftsman style, with iron balusters.
Many out there everywhere, but none exactly like this one.

Custom made newel posts, with an arts and crafts style to match the wrought iron spindles we’ll be using.
Lock miter joinery creates more surface area for glue, and does what it says.... locks the miter in place.
Your home is essentially the biggest piece of furniture you own, so why not use the same joinery methods wherever you can.

Awaiting some custom made Rookwood tile, a few odds and ends, and we are fabricating some custom newel posts and railings, but they will be enjoying their limited thanksgiving in their new space.
This has been a fun project for a couple of amazing people.
I have to give Becca Barton at The Requarth Co. - Supply One Kitchen Showroom. some major props for the design on this one. We have a zero clearance b-vent for the furnace and water heater hiding perfectly behind one of the pantry cabinets, that was buried inside a closet we removed. She executed it flawlessly. The ceiling heights aren’t exactly standard, and the original kitchen had drop soffits everywhere, with fluctuating heights depending on where you measured. Full overlay cabinets to the ceiling present some definite challenges, and she pulled the design off perfectly.
It features double Bosch ovens, a wolf cooktop, Faber range hood with a makeup air damper controlled by cfm exhaust flow. When 400 cfm or greater is achieved, the damper opens to introduce fresh air, eliminating backdraft of carbon dioxide through and furnace or water heating vents. It has a stoneware farmhouse sink, and a sink at a wet bar location.
Yeah..... I’m a bit long winded... but we’re pretty passionate about this stuff.

This project was built around a swing that the homeowner refinished with his grandmother throughout the years. The compass rose inlay in is honor of her name.
A couple of my favorite people, and I’m honored to have been a part of such a great tribute to the family.
Ipe rails and braces with Cumaru decking and columns. Hand selected contrasting colors of Cumaru for the inlay. Column style is matched to our pavilion column style at the same property.
