Photo's from the shop......



 This was a Chippendale style desk that was modified
with a different bookcase top ( same style )
The primary wood is Mahogany
the secondary wood is Maple.


   Open frame construction tongue and groove joinery.

   Broken pediment with flame urn finials.  
   Glass in the doors and the center of the shelves. 
Notice the two lights added to the top of the bookcase.

 Dove tailed drawer fronts also ball and claw feet.




This piece has seven secret compartments
and was very fun to build .

  3. Trovo che le sue creazioni sono molto belle, mi piacciono soprattutto quelli con la patina antica ma anche la canna da pesca è fantastica. Complimenti. Un saluto dall'Italia.

  5. Oh, non pensavo che le sue origini fossero italiane! Mario si usa anche nei paesi latino-americani, credo. Allora siamo di fronte ad un pizzico di Made in Italy!
