The design for the legs was up in the air so I created some models to give him an idea of what it could look like. We ended up going with a trestle style even though I was pushing for a Danish Mid-Century Modern look. The shape of the tops were similar to their dining table made from the same redwood stump he had milled so many years ago. He wanted me to use maple for the legs but I was pushing for redwood so we compromised and I used both.
Another project was making jambs for some already made redwood sashes. The jambs were made from salvaged redwood and the brass hardware came from House of Antique Hardware up in Portland, OR. The sashes didn't have glass so I hung the sashes then installed the glass.
On the homestead we tiled the curb for the barn shower. We angled the curb into the shower to prevent water from leaking outside the door. I am not sure if it worked or not now that we shower in the house. This is now mainly for guests. The redwood door is still doing very well, I made the door in 2011 I believe. Not a sign of deterioration. This will probably be the last ferro-cement shower I do. It just molds too easily and also was a pain in the ass to plaster.
Now I am working on a Pepperwood Pantry cabinet made from locally milled wood from a log found on the river bar. I had to treat the wood with a Borax product call Board Defense. My client was hoping for it to be installed this week but the floor and window project kind of fell into my lap as priority. That is how it goes sometimes. The windows were to be installed ASAP because of the weather and the floor because of a break in the calendar of events. Well I better get back to the shop.
