My Blog, It's like a website, only easier.





Your source for world news, current events, and the latest commentary. Or maybe just a sampling of the work I do. Either way, the Albanians will entertain us all.

The first few pictures here are of custom cabinetry and casework I've done. The first is a 14'w x 7' wall of bookcases. Constructed of Birch-veneer plywood cases and solid poplar frames, the 3 different depths (8", 12", and 16") were specifically made to house a collection of books, family photo albums and a new television and components (center space, not yet purchased when the photo was taken.) Custom-building the cases allowed the finished width to match the room's width exactly, without the need for filler strips, or odd-width cases. Electrical and video connections are located to allow for wires and cables to be hidden, and a taller center toe-kick permitted the heat register to flow though.

The next photo is of a set of stain-grade oak
cases, finished to match the room's existing paneling. Again, 3 different depths were selected to match the client's collection of books, including larger text books to be housed in the largest set of cases. They extend from floor to ceiling, with a solid oak top to dress-up the break between upper and lower sets. Though not evident in the picture here, they integrate seamlessly with the oak wainscoting and window trim details in the room, and match an existing built-in entertainment center on the far wall.
