  • Custom Woodworks by Southern Carpenter

    I have always liked woodworking.  For me it’s a creative outlet to be able to design something I visualize in my mind.   There is no blueprint or design.  It is based strictly on the type of wood I will be working with and the need for a piece of furniture or artwork that I want to build based on vision.  There is so many types of woods.  I do not build production made furniture.  Each piece is unique in its own way and mastered with different kind of woods.   I would like to thank Brady Sellars from Agri Timber who continually procures new inventory of trees that need to be harvested.    The logs end up in the Wood mill and will sit for several months drying.    In the end, the logs are cut into different size/dimensions.   I can’t tell you what I will build after I finish a project.  I do know that I’ve created very large scale woodworks.   Dining Room Tables, Lamps, Dog Crate Furniture, Home Furnishings, Benches, Doors, and unique ArtWork .

     

  • Dining Room Table Country Meets Elegance

    Dining Room Table

    Country Meets Elegance

    I made This table for a friend’s son who is what I term a “modern cowboy”. I tried to mix country with elegance. It is made of cherry that I cut down about 8 years ago and Florida Rosewood. I ran the Rosewood stripe around the table to give it a little more character.  I

    I made the center section from a brindle cow hide.
    I know what your thinking, won’t the hide get dirty or gross when baby throws their mashed peas on it? Well, a cow poops on himself, gets branded, bit by animals and scared by barb wire and still it looks good on my table.
    I think that answers the question!
    I left the edges “live” because he likes that look. It is finished with over 10 coats of Arm-R-Seal, oil and urethane made for table tops. The base is a basic table design. I have found if you focus on the base, the top must not look so hot! I try putting all my efforts to the top. It should make the statement.
    I think I captured my idea! Do you agree?

  • Chandelier Cherry

    I wanted a light that was arts and crafts style to accent my new table (see pecan table). See previous post.
    This combined the straight lines of the table top and the arch of the table base.
    This is a very basic design but was more of a challenge that originally thought.
    It is made of Cherry that was harvested in central Florida.
    The challenge was bending the wood but that will be discussed in a later discussion.
    Thanks for looking.
