In the Shop: Demilune & Bedroom Built-In

In the shop, there are several pieces in a state of near completion. Above are images of the Walnut Veneered Demilune which will grace the entryway of a Manhattan home. The doors will be hung on invisible Soss hinges and the legs will be tapered. Below are a couple of updated shots of the Bedroom built-in. This piece is to be for a child’s bedroom that would also potentially double as a guest bedroom. The counter has enough space and clearance for a changing pad, and the cubbies above can hold any number of items up and out of the way. Neither piece will have visible hardware on the doors or drawers.

Cutting Veneer

These shots show veneer being cut by our neighbor and skilled sawyer, Bruce Bonham, out of a Black Walnut Flitch. A flitch is a large slice from a tree, and these crotch grain walnut beauties were sliced into thin layers to be used as veneer on a demilune table. In the second and third picture you can see the large log being used to weigh down the slices of walnut to keep them flat as they are cut.

Sketch for Long Credenza

Long CredenzaShelves#1

The next item up on the agenda is this oversized built-in Walnut credenza with three large floating shelves.

The credenza boasts ten black walnut doors and matching counter. The doors will have no visible hardware to distract from the wood- instead, they’ll employ push to open catches that hide inside the cabinet.

After a couple of lumber sourcing trips to Alderfer Lumber, the schoolhouse is chock full of gorgeous walnut slabs, ready to go.

Manhattan Hallway built-ins

Last week we spent a couple hours installing a new Walnut bookcase in a home in Manhattan. At the same time, we were able to re-visit the Ash Mudroom built-in at the other end of the same hallway. It’s always fun to see our work in use, and this piece looks like it comes in mighty handy for stashing coats, boots, and whatever is needed by the door.

The bookcase was built in four sections that went seamlessly back together after a trip up the elevator. The walnut base was carefully scribed to fit around the existing baseboard for a very custom fit.

In the Shop: Walnut Bookcase

Currently in the woodshop, this Walnut bookcase awaits delivery to Manhattan. It was built in four sections with two fixed shelves plus the bottom, and twelve adjustable shelves. The exposed end features flush modern construction and clean, simple trim. The entire piece is constructed of solid Pennsylvania Walnut lumber.

Also well underway is a large kitchen for an addition in New Hope.

Walnut Murphy Bed

Roll out nightstand under side cabinet

This Custom Walnut Murphy Bed, commissioned by interior designer Adele Danziger, features a bookcase and roll out nightstand, and has matching wooden pulls. The piece, which measures 96” tall 83” wide 18” deep, houses a queen bed in an addition on a historic Bucks County farmhouse. The cut out in the nightstand counter provides a convenient handhold for getting in and out of bed.

In the shop: Walnut Wall bed, Sassafras headboard

In progress, to be delivered next week, we have this beautiful Walnut Murphy Bed. The design of the front is new, and it features a sculpted wood handle. The curved horizontal element flips 90 degrees to become the foot of the bed when it is folded down. Under the bookcase is a roll out nightstand.

Also awaiting finish and delivery is this Sassafras King Sized headboard. It will get a dark stain to match the existing bedroom furniture in a Montgomery County, PA home.
