This bench was built for a customer with a unique story behind it. The customer's daughter had lost her father when she was a young girl. The bed head board was one remaining piece of furniture she had that they wanted to somehow salvage and restore. Thus being a piece her daughter could hold and display for years to come to remind her of her father. They asked can you get creative and turn this into a display piece.

I am the owner of a small custom build wood shop. Made the jump to full time wood working after a background in aviation maintenance and information technology. Some of my work has been featured in other publications and on other websites. When my order load started to pick up I decided I was ready for a break from coprorate america and started my small wood shop. My wood shop now contains a CNC and laser also amongst other wood working tools. Not a day goes by I don't love waking up now and going to work all hours of the day and night!

I built this wine cabinet from solid red oak. I wanted to make it unique and a one of a kind piece. So to make it really stand out, I custom made the trim and shaping of many pieces. Then to really add the wow factor I added a custom designed carved toe kick of grape vines and doors with grape clusters. And to top it off I made a set of custom matched wine glasses with matching grapes laser etched onto them for a totally matched set. To make it a final perfect apperance I turned to General Finishes as I do on every project.
