This was a fun project. This was a remodel we did at Peterson Builders. in this photo it shows the custom raised panel wainscot we installed in the main living area of the home. We also glazed the railing changing the color from and old polyurethane yellow to that nice brown.

I made this mantel for them years before the remodel. We moved it to this location and built the fireplace surround to fit it. On each side of that fireplace chase is a set of adjustable book shelves.

This is a picture of the coffered ceiling in the main living area. We also added a coffered ceiling in the kitchen area but built big beams and put crown around them. This was to hid the steel support beam we had to leave. This was a long job but one of my favorites.

This is an Alder railing I did for a client at work. This was something new for me because of the double curved railings. Each riser and tread was different and the angle the risers met the skirt was different. It took a while but eventually I was able to get everything to fit together nicely. The niche in the wall next to the stairs was a prefab unit. just cut a hole in the wall the size of the back, glue it in and paint it.

These columns are on both sides of the main room of the house with a big arch that connects them. The mantel and the columns and the railing posts were all made with traditional rail and stile panels out of rustic cherry. Beautiful wood because it has so much color and imperfections.

As requested here are some photos of the Neil home.

I built this railing in the home of a good friend back in 2003. Its made with rustic cherry with a clear polyurethane finish. I made the newel posts from rough 4/4 stock. The rail I had to purchase. In this photo I also laid the rustic Cherry floor with the help of Ryan. Well with Ryan's help we built this whole house from the ground up. This was definitely the longest project outside of work I have done. I will post more pictures of this project as I get them.
