  • “March 2021 Update: Beautiful Beech Fireplace Mantels Now Available!”

    Beech fireplace mantel Mar 2021

    The fireplace mantel described in this content is made from an authentic beech beam recovered from a barn in Western NY. The wood used to make this mantel was cut 100-150 years ago and the trees from which this wood came were 200-300 years old. The wood is very dense with very tight rings, making it far superior to other woods. The person who created this mantel feels a connection to the wood, a connection to the past and to the history of the wild landscapes of America. There is an aura about this old wood that cannot be replicated in new wood. Each piece of old wood has its own unique character, due to its age, cut, use and exposure to sun and weather. Once it is finished, its unique characteristics really come out. Overall, this piece is aesthetically pleasing and loved by its owners.

  • January 2020 Project: Building a Table for the Basketball Court

    Basketball Court Table Project Jan 2020

    The article discusses the idea of harvesting gymnasium floors from schools, which are often replaced every 20-50 years, and using the wood for various applications such as counters, tables, desks, and bar tops. The author describes the process of creating a gym floor table for a customer using a rare piece of flooring that still had its original graphics intact. The process included removing the sleepers (essentially 2×3 pieces of wood), adding low profile stiffeners and aprons made from extra pieces of maple wood, and using mortise and tenon joints for the corners. The author also refurbished old conference table legs by sanding, priming, and repainting them in glossy white enamel paint. Finally, the top and sides of the table were sanded and coated with a satin, water-based polyurethane.

    We harvest basketball courts from universities. Apparently just about every 20-50 a long time universities swap 10s of 1000’s of sq. ft of gymnasium flooring and generally throw it away. Admittedly it is a little bit of a suffering to reuse in household options (but absolutely rather if the hard work is put in) and sizeable quantities of this materials have been made use of to make counters and tables desks and bar tops. For these prospects they required a fitness center floor table and we uncovered a scarce piece that nonetheless experienced its graphics. We discovered a pair of outdated 1950s conference desk legs and developed a table close to the piece…including having the graphics wrap all-around on the skirt.

    The flooring is rock maple nailed into sleepers (basically 2×3 ). I stapled 3/4 in plywood strips to the base prior to taking away the sleepers. Immediately after the sleepers have been taken off I set some lower profile stiffeners built of more parts of strip maple turned sideways. The apron was also created from additional parts of maple. In this circumstance I utilised the items with the graphics to make the waterfall impact. Since the maple is tongue and groove I have to piece alongside one another parts on the groove side due to the fact they’d normally be backward. The corners had been produced with a mortise and tenon joint. THe apron is brad nailed into the ground and blocks glued and stapled underneath all around the edges,
    The legs from the old meeting table have been sanded primed and repainted with shiny white enamel paint. The best and sides are sanded with 220 grit paper and coated with satin, h2o-dependent polyurethane. Treatment is taken to not take away the patina and where ever cuts and sanding exposed new wooden..time and sun will ultimately even it out.

    The legs from the previous meeting desk were being sanded primed and repainted with shiny white enamel paint.
