I love working in the garden! My client had a very beautifully landscaped backyard garden, with an emphasis on native plant species and flowering bulbs. Such a nice view.

A pretty scene is always enhanced by viewing it through a nicely divided window, in my opinion.

Here's an example of some tightly pegged timber frame joinery. Many thanks to the people who originally cut these heavy timbers; little did they know they would have a second life in a brand new structure, hopefully for another 100 years!

Building custom windows is another favorite pastime. There's something about having all the pieces come together into a cohesive whole, that is particularly satisfying.
I can never resist saving old glass, because you never know when you might find a use for it.

A classic cedar greenhouse, surrounded by a custom patio made from local stone. A wonderful year round gardening space and sun room.

lamp post trellis.jpg
I made this project quite some time ago. I used reclaimed materials to make the lamp post, and carved the cap out of a single large piece of cedar. The stone work is my own as well. The lamp is operated by a switch located inside the house.

barn front.jpg
Every property in New England needs a barn like this! I built this barn over an existing retaining wall made by the owners. It is made from recycled windows, and flooring torn from an old industrial building. It is meant to look like it has been around for a while.

I sometimes do small masonry projects. This was particularly enjoyable! Pizza and bread oven, hearth size is four feet across. The interior dome is built with firebrick and refractory mortar, surrounded by a thick layer of non-combustible insulation, and having a masonry enclosure. The whole thing is set on a dry stone wall. Perfect for cookng pizza and hearth bread at 750˚F!

I made this sculpture using some left over cement. I try not to waste material, so I'm sure my collection will continue to grow. Just about anything can be sculpted using portland cement and sand, and you can be glad that it will last almost indefinitely.
