About Me

I'm a self taught woodworker in my 9th "rookie" season. Most of my projects are furniture for around the house, along with occasional items for friends and family. I gravitate toward the Mission/Arts & Crafts style but tend to go my own way just using elements of those styles that I like. Much of my wood has been salvaged or given to me. I've been fortunate to have purchased surprisingly little wood over the years.

	08/30/2010 11:40pm by knotscott Thanks Dick. My middle son is a 2008 AQ grad, and is starting his junior year at SUNY Brockport. You were probably a year or two ahead of him. ;-) Ever run into an EE named Keith Bunker at Xerox?

Pic 1 - QSWO Enterntainment Center
This is a mission style entertainment center made of quartersawn white oak and oak ply, with cherry bow tie inlays on the top. Dimensions are roughly 66�w x 24�d x 29�h. Construction is mainly glued dados and pocket holes. The corbels are doweled, and the door grids are half lapped. The finish is a mixture of early american and colonial maple, with a poly clear coat. Most of the QSWO was salvaged from the Widmer Wineries.
