A couple more custom pieces

The first custom job I did was for Carlene and Wayne. They have been back a few times with more pieces for me to do. These are the latest:

A highboy in Green and Black. You'll notice that there is an opening on the top. We believe that at one time there was a hutch on top of the highboy. They have a great idea, to have a piece of marble or granite cut to fit the opening. I think that is a great idea and a great way to give added value and life to this wonderful piece.

I almost forgot to put the little piece back in the center of the top drawer.

A nice solid piece in Red. This piece has all four wheels intact and moving freely.

And more, you can see I hadn't posted in a while

Purchased from a local friend, Colleen, who had picked them up with the thought of redoing them, but decided to let me buy them.

These are the legs from a small table I got from Colleen. The table wasn't usable, but it had these great legs that will make super candle holders.
