Display Cabinet
There are now two versions of this Display Cabinet. Most recently I built one with a variation on the back and the doors. The wood is still Claro Walnut, the top is made up of a solid Claro Walnut, hand textured around the top and supported by walnut legs, attached with walnut bridges. In the most recent version, the pulls and hinges are made of Wenge. Glass shelves and leaded glass front are a variation on the first Display cabinet which had a stained glass back that provided back lighting for the display items. One aspect that was exploited was the presence of a graft line and the two varieties of walnut in the same tree…those being English and Claro.

Fine Ideas Furniture
Each piece of custom handcrafted furniture that I create is functional fine art made with the intent to last many lifetimes. Even after 30 years in woodworking, it is always challenging, with no end to the styles, shapes, designs and combinations of materials. In a disposable society like ours it is refreshing to make heirloom pieces of furniture with soul.

Oct 10, 2014I am thrilled with my custom pedestal created by Dan Rieple. I searched 6 months for a pedestal for a sculpture I recently acquired and could find absolutely nothing worthy of the sculpture. Until I found Dan. Now I have two works of art!
