Artisan Woodworking

Repurposed for a New Millennium

Also available during the tour, or from the Frame House gift shop.  These are objects I've found and salvaged from rural Pennsylvania, Virginia, or Maryland. They display the craftsmanship of previous centuries, which I've reworked and updated for a new life as home furnishings and accessories.

Rope Bed Table



This table would fit perfectly in a foyer or behind a sofa. The beautifully turned legs began life a rope bed in Pennsylvania's Perkioman Valley, probably at least 250 years ago. They have been refinished with a beautiful black cherry Casein stain, and fitted with a rustic pine plank top, protected with a polyurethane finish. 

Picket Coat Rack

This 5-hook coat rack was made from a beautifully weathered picket gate also found in rural PA. Because it was never painted, I merely sanded the planks lightly and sealed them with polyurethane prior to re-crafting them into this rack.

Rustic Votive Tray from Column Base

Weathered column bases salvaged near Schwenksville Pa formed the bases for this pair of Votive Candle Trays with bun feet. The trays were first dyed with burgundy casein stain, then hand painted with a tracery of branches, buds and leaves, creating modern candle holders with a rustic heirloom feel. These make a perfect dinner party presentation used on a long dining table with a floral centerpiece in between.
