Giving new life to this wonderful old base by the addition of a reclaimed hemlock tabletop. These boards came from the granary of a local barn that was recently taken down.

This is the first table Kevin ever built and uses wood salvaged out of the attic of his sister’s 140 year old stone house. It is designed with a low stretcher to raise your feet off the cold floor while seated. Finished in a hand-rubbed, all natural oil finish, containing no petroleum distillates, solvents, or heavy metal driers. Applying an all natural finish requires more coats and time to dry, but produces a long lasting durable finish which is environmentally sound.

This is a narrow board mortised and tenoned onto the end of a tabletop to prevent warping and to hold the tabletop boards together. Fitted into place using hand carved wooden pegs.

This bed is made from the pine floor and granary boards reclaimed from a 140 year old barn. The worn character of the old wood is retained, including the the rat chewed dent at the bottom of the foot board.

This method of joining two boards together is both strong and beautiful. All the dovetail joints Kevin creates are hand cut, using saws and chisels.

The head-board on this bed is 19 ¾” wide. Boards like this are becoming difficult to find with the loss of so many old barns and homes. This head-board has been joined to the bedposts using mortise and tenon joints with hand carved wooden pegs to hold it in place.

Using clean and simple lines and traditional joinery. This table is made from 145 year old white pine salvaged from an old barn.

Made from 120 year old hemlock boards salvaged from the granary of a local barn that was recently torn down. The top has been hand planed flat, to help maintain the colour and character of the old wood. Kevin hand picked and arranged the boards in order to get a nice appealing table top. The boards are then joined together using breadboard ends and wood pegs which keep the centre boards flat and covers the end grain of the boards. This makes for a strong and well built table top.

This stool was designed for Kevin’s young niece to be able to reach the bathroom counter. It was built using the cut-offs from other projects and is inspired by the early footstools of Upper Canada. The stool incorporates dovetail dado joints to attach the legs to the top which provides strength and beauty.
