North Florida Woodworking's
Furniture Gallery
All of my furniture is handmade, and I only work with four North American hardwoods as primary woods: beech, walnut, hard maple, and cherry (my personal favorite). For secondary woods, I use poplar and soft maple. I also use hard maple as secondary wood for a few things like drawer runners to insure life long wear.
For finishes, I usually apply a couple of coats of oil, followed by several coats of shellac to build a film. Finally, a couple of coats of hand rubbed wax. On occasion, if something is to reside in a harsh environment like dining tables or pieces for a bathroom, I'll add a more durable finish.

Small Tables and StandsEnd tables, hall tables, candle stands, small occasional tables, etc. These tables are made in cherry, beech, walnut, or maple. They are finished in oil, and then top coated with shellac and a coat of paste wax. |

Small CaseworkThis is the place to fine small open casework. Small cases with or without pegs, shelves, and drawers.

Odds and EndsThis is the place to find strange things made of wood; things that don't quite dovetail into the normal woodworking projects. Truly, the "Odds and Ends." |
