Barn repairs, new timber frames, restoration, rebuilds, and some custom woodworking/furniture. Formal training in Timber Framing led me to respect the old ways and to consider using these in all aspects of any woodworking project. In particular I enjoy using hand tools like chisels, planes, spokeshaves, adzes, drawknives etc. You can be sure that if I can then I will use the old ways, hand planning my boards to make table tops and mortice and tenon joints in the skirts. It is a proud boast that my shaving horses, are made entirely of wood with no nails, screws or glue and are of a takedown design. Hardwoods, especially white oak, are my favorites. Most times I use re-cycled barn timbers from barns that have been pulled down before they fall down. My interest in history will always ensure that if possible I will restore a barn/building to preserve our heritage. Not interested in high volume production work. Smaller items for sale on eBay from black-bear-50 (my eBay ID).
