Ed’s Personal Study Room

This full custom library was designed and built in stained birch to hold approximately 4,500 books. The project included floor-to-ceiling adjustable shelving, a sliding bookcase system that allows five units to share the same footprint while remaining full accessible, sliding library ladders engineered for uneven flooring and a 4’ x 8’ island with open storage, drawers, and seating on both ends.

Starting from conceptual sketch by an interior designer, we worked with the client and designer to clarify priorities and design the parts that no one knew how to build making a functional working library. The result is complete system that balances high storage capacity with practical daily use.

The S2S Cherry Kitchen

This full custom kitchen was built entirely by hand in stained cherry, running ground to ceiling. The project included raised-panel doors made in the shop, extensive millwork throughout the space, and a matching round butcher block table crafted from the same cherry used for the cabinets

Sourcing consistent cherry proved difficult at the time. We solved it by purchasing S2S cherry and milling everything in-house to maintain color and quality control. Working from a smaller shop in the early days in the area, the cabinetry was built ins stages and installed with careful attention to fit and finish.

The result is a cohesive, warm kitchen with solid cherry cabinetry, custom millwork, and a matching table that ties the entire space together.
