I have a lot more photos and notes from this period. It's about a 10 year period starting from around 2005. Hard to put any sort of organization to this, so here's a gallery of photos and I'll add such commentary as I can.

  • I tried my hand a merchanting at WoW 2012. I made everything in the photo except for the canvas of the tent.
  • The Glastonbury chair project, a ton of work. After two of these, I'll never make another.
  • Cutting Boards and Pizza Shovels for Xmas presents
  • Stickley End Tables. I made a couple for my house and some as commissions.
  • Blanket Chest. Not a reproduction of anything specific. We needed a small chest for the bedroom and it would also allow our aging (at the time) husky to still get up on the rather tall bed we had at the time.
  • Shaker Bed. This was a fairly faithful reproduction of an 1830s-1840s bed I saw at the Pleasant Hill Shaker Plantation while I was in the area for a hand tool woodworking symposium at Berea College.
  • A crazy useful portable bench. Based on one used by Steve Latta, who makes 18th and 19th Century furniture featuring a lot of inlay work (Federal Period). I use this all the time and it's 2 clamps away from turning any table into a useful bench.
  • A 16th Century joined chest. This is a pretty faithful reproduction. Full documentation can be found here.
