Wishbone Woodworking

Max did this charcoal drawing for Wishbone. This will be featured in Carrier Pigeon Magazine this coming June. Please check out their site as well. I'm so proud of the work that they are doing and am beyond happy to be involved.

Stealth Shelf

Small Bookshelf - Walnut

Designed by BulitIN Studios, built by myself for Wishbone Woodworking.


Lots if tricky angles for such a small shelf.

Stained Oak Bookshelf

Bookshelf - Stained White Oak


This was designed by Brandi Harry with Indi Interiours, and built by Wishbone Woodworking. Because this bookcase was 13ft long x 8ft tall, it was brought in the house in over 50 pieces and completely assembled face down in their living room. Max proved his mighty strength when it came time to lift and set this in place.





These are some photos to show what the oak looks like before being stained and finished.


All of the grain for the back runs diagonally and continuous through each "cubby"

Walnut Mirrors


Mirrors-Walnut. I made these last year, but they have found their way back into my life just recently. They are beautiful, and I wish I could keep them, but we don't have a big enough apartment for this much mirror. I hope they find a happy home soon.

Mirror corner detail. I hope to use a similar detail in an entertainment center I'm about to build. The strange angles distort both the the width and depth of the frame, but allow the wood grain to continue through. I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

12th St mill work

This a collection of pictures of work that I just completed with J.V. Woodworking, out of Brooklyn, NY. While this work is not my design, I did build a lot of the pieces and am proud to have been part of the job.

Built in Closet with integrated pulls. The cabinet is flush with the baseboard and surrounding walls
Entertainment center built-in. This piece was too large to transport and get into the elevator, so it had to be assembled on site. I think it came out pretty good.

Bedroom Dresser-Ash. The drawers are much deeper than the counter, but aren't seen because they are hidden in the wall.

Bathroom Vanity-Bamboo. All door and drawer pulls are integrated into the door or drawer face eliminating the need for a standard drawer pull. I like this because it shows the the wood grain with out much interruption.

Floating Bathroom Vanity-Walnut

I didn't make this piece, but I think it came out really great. The TP holder is solid walnut. Tricky business!

Radiator Cover. Not the most glamorous task, but surprisingly challenging. Came out pretty good in the end.


Kitchen- Parapan, Stainless Steel. Again, I can't take credit for this, but my friends Fabian and CJ did a wonderful job with this I couldn't not put it up on the blog. Parapan is a high-gloss acrylic that is more durable than high gloss lacquer. Somewhat difficult to work with, but totally succeeds at shinny.

Kitchen Island- Zebra Wood. There's a freezer, wine cooler, and microwave hidden in all that wood.

Kitchen

Oak Coffee Table


This is a small coffee table I did for home. Oak and Mahogany.


After some help, I think that the legs are well positioned. Also, I made the legs removable, instead of glued in. This was super handy for taking it home on the train.


A key was in inlaid in the top. I like to think that this symbolizes home and a sense of security. Also it was fun to do. I plan on doing a series of furniture which incorporates old found objects. I found some cool old watch parts at the flea market the other day...

From the top the key almost disappears.
