This is a project we're just wrapping up. Photography not yet complete, but I have a couple of photos of the stained glass we just installed. Full height cypress office partitions at the local state farm office. This was all fabricated from rough 4/4 and 8/4 cypress. We designed, fabricated, and finished every component - window muntins, doors, mouldings, even the stained glass was done by us.   |

It is a huge asset when paired with good carpentry. There are two main methods- leaded and foiled. I enjoy just watching her work on them. Everything from very basic to very complex. Somehow it makes her even hotter:)    |

garch- your work is amazing and the diversity is impressive. Do you guys have essentially a full functioning cabinet shop as well as a full functioning timber frame division? It is how it all goes together that I think is so great. The miters on the long floor to ceiling portions, the raised panels, the glass work, and it is obvious from the pictures that the stain isn't blotchy at all and the clear coat is glass smooth. Yours just seems like a very interesting business- you must have everything from shapers to spray booths on top of all the big boy mafells that you have already posted about??

Nice work 7! er, Mrs. 7!! Do I spy some horse shoe nails there? haha, yep those are horse shoe nails…how do you know about those? She likes them because they are flat on the sides so it holds the perimeter on the pattern exactly. |

I'm more a fan of contemporary clean angular designs in my personal life. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate other styles, such as this fine craftsmanship of course. |
