A Simple Project

Our son, Brandon, is moving into a really nice condo this weekend, which is very close to the lake in town. The house that he has been in for the last 2 years is pretty old, run down, dirty and just not very nice.

While moving his furniture, it became apparent that he did not have a dining room table.
Knowing that his dad is an excellent furniture maker, they decided that it would really easy to make a simple dining room table for this new condo.

Well, you can guess what happened. There is no such thing as simple when it comes to furniture making with those two. What started as a piece of Birch plywood is now a Gathering table with a nice piece of marble inset in the center, walnut inlay around the marble and as an edge. Each corner piece has been precisely cut so that the grain in going out from the marble.

Here is a look at the mable inset

This is a look at the leg material that was actually milled from Brandon's Uncle Rick.

So, what started out as a simple project is now getting more and more complicated. 

Will post more pictures as they are progressing along.

Season of Thanksgiving!

At this time of year, we really start thinking about what we are thankful for over the last year. For us, there are so many things. It is really hard to name them all.

D & L Creations has truly been a passion and desire coming to life for us over the last couple of years. We are so thankful to be able to share this with all of you.
We would love to share with you the many projects that Doug has built recently.
Each piece is original and build right here in our work shop. If you see something that interests you. Let us know. We would love to help you furnish your home with hand crafted items.

Check out the slide show on the right. Go ahead and click on a picture to see more detail.

I hope to start taking 1 project at a time and showing it from start to finish. I just love seeing it all come together. And then, the final creation! I am amazed every time at the beauty of the wood, the grain, the texture, the colors. I can only imagine how God must have felt every time he created something new on those first 6 days.
