Armoires + End Tables made from Factory Finds

Sometimes, as a picker + collector, you hit the proverbial, score!
I had the good fortune to pick from a now defunct Massachusetts Organ Pipe Factory.
I sourced all kinds of great metal + wooden elements.

These are some of the finished pieces; Armoires + End Tables,  headed to Chantilly, VA at the Dulles Expo Center, FRI- SUN, 1/25-1/27.  This is my first show in the DC Metro Area!

Wood + Hardware from a Massachusetts Factory

Pair of End Tables/Night Stands from antique wood, ceiling tin, hardare + cool light fixtures from Harvard University!~

I thought it would look really cool as a night light.

We found random stuff in the Organ Pipe Factory: my partner arranged vintage baby shoe forms we found onto an old organ pipe shipping crate. 

I make console tables from these 1800s shipping crates for organ pipes.

We found so many wooden shoe forms too.

Putnam, CT Artisan Show




Starting is always the hardest part.
I say this about every project I take on...
it's true.

My sincere thanks and gratitude to Maria Heaton
for inviting me to attend the first annual Putnam Art Show.
I loved meeting everyone, and am so grateful you liked my work.
I left a few pieces on display for sale (birdhouses and a funky red/orange cabinet)
at the Silver Circle Studio, 75 Main St, Putnam, CT.
www.silvercirclestudio.com

Check out a few photos from the show.

I can make cabinets, console/accent tables, bookcases, hutches, islands, farm/harvest tables, display cases (jewelry display a specialty) in wood and found vintage elements.

My girlfriend deals in vintage found furnishings for home and garden that gives my booth a great look.

Thanks.
John
