well ok .. its the new year, and were back at work, and from the looks of it here, were pretty busy. luckily, the last few days things have kind of come into focus and under control ... a little new year miracle, compared to the last couple weeks of 2013. click the photos to enlarge them.
trevor seems to have the 12 cherry cabinet details mostly complete, and well be doing some preinstallation recon work on site tomorrow or friday. its alchoices nice to check the floors for level and the walls for plumb when you are installing a major piece in an older house. well, first we have to finish the piece, but as soon as everything else here leaves, well be on that ...
it should be ready for finish after tomorrow. next week after the other stuff leaves

the pool table is finished now that will has felted the rails below .. the felt is simonis, dark green and i believe its the first time we have used that color .. like it.
and for above the table ..
were working on this light, assisted by authentic designs, up the road in rupert ..
its nina mooney, the designers concept, and i think its going to be cool ...
we had to do some creative cutting, drilling, tapping, and epoxy work, but i think weve got it.
photoshopped concept by nina here
and in the pool table photo above, you can see the model for the table in the drawing below. it will be made from recycled chestnut and we should be starting the joinery tomorrow sometime.
and the benches below go with 8, 30 x 36" quartered oak table tops we finished on monday.
the commercial pedestals are on site, and hopefully well install them next week with the
pool table, the benches, and the dining table below.
were using a fine (new to us) polyurethane varnish. its by a company called lenmar, which has been recently purchased by benjamin moore. we used a coat of gloss as a base and applied two coats of satin on top with a 3" foam brush. flowed out like it was sprayed. im going to go out on limb and recommend it ... not something i usually do, but i like it as a finish.
this is another project for the hill farm inn, a rehab of a venerable bed
and breakfast down the road in sunderland.

there was concern that the antlers on the deer from the logo inlay
would disappear if we left them in the burl. sooo.
there was an antler that sam found in the woods rattling around,
and trevor made some antler antlers. fun.
and we moved the mill from the old metal shop
to the new one thanks to the help of our friend malcolm cooper, president and owner of jk adamsand his new company peace street rigging ... any excuse to use one of his tractors.
the mill is happy to be back in a heated space ...
sams busy in the new metal shop .. knocking out a few projects before
starting on a new big one next week
