Woodworking Projects 2
A warm welcome to all the wood working visitors. Well you have found
projects page 2 of my Wood Furniture and Australian Country Furniture
site.
Many of the products found in these sections are custom made one offs,
however it is where I get the ideas to possibly add them to my wood
furniture product range. You will see a few wooden furniture items
within the "projects" pages that have made it to my regular product
lines.
The cabinet on the left was manufactured in July 2003 as a custom order via a retail outlet. The cabinet was made for D. Nicholls. This particular cabinet is the same as Item 25 in my product list with the only exception that the depth is only 350mm. The ‘skinny effect’ on this country furniture cabinet looked excellent once the cabinet was completed. Whilst building this wooden cabinet I naturally kept the plan and measurements so as to enable quick reference to and future request.
July 2003
Wooden Bench Seat
This bench seat was an adaptation to the “bathroom seat” pictured at the
top left of page 1. Measurements are similar, 1200mm long and
approximately 960mm high. Client requested a little distressing on this
particular seat. The bench seat was finished in a teak stain with clear
matt finish. Who said that wood working was hard! (Made for Margaret &
Peter)
July 2003
Same version of Country Wood Furniture as the one on the above, however
only 935mm in overall length. The smaller bench seat was made so as to
fit easier into many of the smaller units and town houses that are in
abundance throughout the cities and countryside. This particular wooden
seat found a home in Camberwell Victoria and I know that it will fit
nicely with your Country Furniture range. (For Michelle & Lauren)

As promised here is the new side table that I made this week for Jo. P.
via a retail order through Bairnsdale Antiques. This side table will now
become part of my Country Furniture product list. Heart cut-outs on the
gallery back, a single drawer and the popular bottom shelf complete this
project. A duplicate side table was made at the same time with the only
difference being the exclusion of heart cut-outs on the gallery back.
Both styles looked good. Hope you’re happy with the outcome Jo. and I
know it will fit in nicely with your other wood furniture.
7th August 2003
A one off order for customer via retail outlet Bairnsdale Antiques. The
telephone cabinet was manufactured simultaneously with the side tables
above. Amazing what you can do whilst other painted projects are drying!
Another piece of Wood Furniture from The Wooden Heart. On a side note
(April 2005) I have had several requests to manufacture more of the
Telephone cabinet, so it does go to show that by keeping plans and
templates, the manufacturing of similar items in the future come that
much easier.
13th August 2003
This item (mini ladder frame) was part of retail order which included
the side table above. Client requested that the wooden photo frames take
portrait style photo’s. I had been contemplating manufacturing a
portrait style for some time now to compliment item 68 which is already
part of my range. These wooden photo frames are one of my extremely
popular Country Furniture items.
Well that's page 2 of my Country Furniture selections. If any wood working followers are out there feel free to to build any of my wood furniture range.
