Behind
the church gate (image on left) is a memorial garden featuring this
large white oak garden bench I made for them
from a photo that the trustees liked. The
construction is all pegged, mortise and tenon joinery,
like a post and beam house.

Presented
here is about the most stately window box in which
a flower was ever planted. I built these from a
drawing by John Calvin Stevens himself, architect of
this Portland Federalist revival home. Both the
window boxes and trellis are painted pine.

Here
is an example of the many flat panel shutters I am
called to make. I incorporate a
period inset molding which seems to compliment any
decor. Also shown is
a corner
of a cherry mission style table. |

This
is a copy of a Federalist mirror I saw at an auction
that I liked. It's
in tiger maple, appropriately colored and finished to present the same look
of the original.
