Custom Dressers

It is interesting how projects come together. I met these clients when they were in the process of planning the remodel of their kitchen, things did not come together for that project, but we shared design sensibilities.
After they finished their kitchen remodel they contacted me to see if I could make some custom frames for some mirrors that used to be in their bathrooms. I made two bamboo frames out of unfinished bamboo flooring, and finished them with AMF safecoat oil finish. (I will insert pictures later)
While working on that project we started talking about dressers.... They wanted a modern style tall chest for for their daughter and a baby that was on the way. I used full extension slides so the drawers open nice and wide.
These are made with FSC certified maple and veneer plywood. I used low VOC AFM Safecoat satin finish.

The handles were custom made with maple and 1/2 acrylic scrap.

After finishing the first two dressers I designed and built 6 drawer dresser. For finish we went with FSC certified oak and oak veneer, with a dark chocolate finish. The finish was a custom blend of low VOC clear finish and low VOC dark chocolate latex pigment

Recycled plywood and bamboo table!!!!!

The sun is streaming in the window across a new table that is close to completion. I like the fact that the table top is made of bamboo, recycled douglas fir plywood, and salvaged heart pine flooring. For the table base I have cleaned, polished and reworked a metal shipping crate. I added casters because the table is pretty heavy. It reminds me of a media cart that might have been used in elementary school.
I used a low VOC oil and wax finish that smells good when it is warmed by the sun, it also brings out the natural beauty of the old woods and the new bamboo.
Today I am working out the details of longer sofa table using some old pine that appears to have come from some kind of a furniture piece but I am not really sure what it was. I have done some exploration cuts with the table saw and the grain under weathered and grubby exterior looks fantastic. I am excited to see what will come out of the process.
