Baseboard, Chair Rail, and Crown

I of course do plenty of standard finish carpentry work - baseboard, chair rail, and crown molding.  Here are some extreme examples of some of the work I've done.

Baseboard and Shoe installed in a house with rounded corner bead.


Here's some crown molding installed in the same house with the rounded corner bead.








Here's some second story crown installed over a stair well. 


This crown molding was installed on a vaulted ceiling.  A lot of carpenters have serious trouble making the cuts necessary to work with a vaulted ceiling, but I know the secret!  I also cased the windows in the picture.



And finally, here's some chair rail, but instead of installing it on a wall, Mark Warring had me install it as a ceiling application.




Stained Trim

Here are some samples of stain grade trim I did years ago while I was working for Tommy Hunt. 






Stop and Drops

Here's a couple of Stop-and-Drops I built for Mark Warring.  They have cubbys for children to put their shoes, hooks for coats and back packs, as well as upper storage space either as cubbys or cabinets.





Wainscotting

Here's a sample of some wainscotting I've done.  I incorporated the top edge of the application to meld into the window sill to give a continuous top edge.  I always pull the receptacles out through the wood so they mount and can be used properly.




Custom Range Hood

Here's some pictures of a custom range hood I built.  It's designed to match the shape of the homeowners kitchen island with the vent placed directly over the grill, and has two lights to illuminate the island.

More Custom Laundry Room Cabinets

Here is another set of custom laundry room cabinets.  The upper cabinets are 42" tall and 22" deep and are strong enough to hang from.  I love how the homeowner wanted the single cabinet between the washer and dryer to make use of that space as well.


This second one was interesting.  The homeowner wanted a tall cabinet to put her brooms and mops in, as well as a place to hang up clothes she takes out of the dryer.  She also had me make plain birch doors instead of ordering milled doors like in my other creations.

(Sometimes it's hard to take a good picture in the small space that makes up a laundry room)




Another Large Entertainment Center

This entertainment center was interesting in that the homeowner wanted cabinets that were tall for storage, so they had me build the left and right cabinets at 4' tall.  The entire unit is over twelve feet wide.


All of the shelves except the long one over the TV are adjustable.
