"I searched through a variety of office supply catalogs, never finding the right desk to meet my needs.  Dan spent a long time listening to what I wanted in a workstation, drafting and refining a design and ultimately building the desk of my dreams.  The desk he constructed is exactly suited to my work style and needs."  Jeff F.

Creation of a custom-made wall shelf  
The customer requested a unique wall shelf to fit in a specific area and also to match the stain and design of existing furniture.  Dan worked with the customer's wishes and drafted a shelf unit incorporating the customer's requests with additional suggestions and ideas.  The result is a beautiful shelf for display of special items.  

Selecting the wood

Cutting the design

Sanding the wood

Assembling the shelf

Gluing the shelf unit

Finishing touches

Almost there...

The finished product!

Wood used to create this wall shelf was oak plywood

A bandsaw is used to cut the curve of the shelf

To ensure a professional look, sanding is essential

Now that the pieces are cut out and sanded, it is time to assemble them

Clamps are important to ensure the seams remain tight while the glue is drying

The railing is attached to the shelf unit

The shelf has been stained and is nearly ready to be delivered to its new owner.

The shelf sits perfectly in the spot it was made for!
