Kitchen
Kitchen I built from reclaimed materials. The doors were made from 1930's oak and pitched pine full size interior doors cut down and rejoined.

Bourbon shelf
Reclaimed timber was used to make this shelf. It was waxed and then stencilled with the word Bourbon. The customer has now filled it with various bourbon display bottles and glasses.
Crates
Reclaimed timber is used to make various sized crates with stencilling available before waxing or painting.

Ageing the conduit saddles used to hold the axle. Black paint and wax used for an aged oily look.
