Wishbone Woodworking's NEW SHOP!!! Pt. II

Here we go!


This is the best worker in the shop...MARTIN!!! It so wonderful to use such nice machinery.


This is our plywood lumber rack, the dust collector room and also there's an air compressor in there.


This is the office and also the stairs to the office being clamped up.


Sill need to get a little better organized in the office, but I think that it will be a nice place to work.


We did a lot of demo and reconstruction of the space. There was pipes and wires that had stopped being used years before we moved in. A lot of time was spent leveling out the floors and clearing the ceiling of junk.

This is our planner. It's a beast! It weighs 2750 lbs and as we struggled to get it into place the concrete of the floor gave way. We have since patched the hole, but what an ordeal.

This is as we first moved in, and Max is laying out the office and storage underneath.

Wishbone Woodworking's NEW SHOP!!!

This is our new shop! 61 Greenpoint Ave, Brooklyn NY 11222. It doesn't look like much yet, but I'll post some more pictures in the coming weeks to show our progress.

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.
