1. We are in the middle of moving our woodworking shop to a new location, a WPA historic school (Works Progress Administration)in Sugar Grove, NC. We will be in the old cafeteria. This week we start moving machinery but last week we tore down the dropped ceiling, moved lighting, scrubbed and painted the walls. A special thanks goes out to everyone who helped make it happen… Steve and Mary Fuelling, Alex Moore, Josh Bryan, and the Cregger Company box truck.

  3. We have completed the wall paneling on the airstream, the curved front end proved to be a challenge with compound curves on the panels as well as the custom built window casing. The material is laquered birch plywood complete with painted red edge detail. We finished just in time for the move home to Mabel Studios.

  8. Kim’s work is currently hanging in the gallery. A series of three works, oil on birch panel, inspired by early morning commutes to work.

     

  9. This primitive antique rocking chair needed a little love, I repaired the spindle and resurfaced the rockers. 

     

  10. We inherited this vintage sofa from Dr. Efrieda Lang (1904-2006) , a historian and curator from New Harmony, Indiana, the birthplace of Robert Owen’s communal society. She was a very accomplished women and we are proud to have brought this mid century piece back to life thanks to Silverstone Fabrics. Chocolate brown wool with red welting and buttons… and it still pulls out into a daybed. 

     

  11. We are finally reupholstering our mid century couch, I had to manufacture another spring for the hinge. The spring on the left is a coat hanger, the one on the right is the real deal.

  14. Looking for a conference table? We now have kiln dried 12’ walnut slabs in stock from Resource Wood Inc. in Foscoe, NC.
