Introducing 2015-7, a new take on an old design.
Posted July 10, 2015
This cabinet was inspired by another cabinet I made many years ago (shown below). I created that cabinet for my young bride, Kathy, but it was sold soon after completion. In those days these things happened.

I usually get my graphite canvas from supergrit.com. But it is available from many other places. Googling will find it.
Practically Free
Posted April 16, 2015
As time marches on, certain items I designed and made have remained unsold. These are all made by my hand alone and of the finest materials. They are ideas that interested me and presented a particular challange at the time. They have been shown around the country at the finest shows receiving accolades and compliments.

Six years ago I put up the ovaltambour.com website to represent my encore career in fine craft furniture making. It detailed my previous career in this field as well as displaying current works and schedules. I wrote the code myself using HTML, PHP, and MySQL.
