Armor of God Podium

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 22:18:38 -0500

This was a fun build. It has everything built into this. The podium is made from spalted pecan and cherry. Behind the panels is a 1/2" thick balistic hardend steel. It is wired for network as well as power directly in the podium. I built in a hide-a-way area for all the wires and power which is easily accessible. I also have a false wall built in for when you are exersising your 2nd amendment rights. Also has plenty of storage. The cross on the front is proud of the panel by about 1/4 inch, and the spalted wood in the front panel was selected to give the cross to seem to be halo’d by the Light from the Son above. Very fun build.

Cherry Island

Sat, 21 Aug 2021 16:28:52 -0500

This island has a cherry top with wings that fold down, and is stained with a green stain and poly top coat. The customer on this project had a very small space, and wanted seating area (wings) for her grandchildren to sit at, and also a spot for her cat. If you look close, you will see a small door opening on the side, which when opened, allows for her cat to go in and eat. It also has another passage to the far side to where her litter box is at. All accessible from the front doors. It is also designed with a large opening for a large cutting board and other items and the drawers are deep. I also built matching bar style stools to match the island.
