My first piece for 2026 will be this Breakfront Bookcase in Quarter Sawn White Oak.
The design features an overhead stained glass transom and two lower doors with leaded glass panels. These elements were made by a relative my client.
The lower middle cabinet has a drawer that when opened can serve as a "desk".
The desk top opens for storage.
Fabrication is underway.
The six cabinet carcasses are glued up
The carcass and Door Panels will be made from Quarter Sawn Whit Oak veneer. There will many sessions of gluing up veneer in the vacuum press.
This is the stained glass panel that will be mounted in the upper transom.
