Re: Shaker end table with shelf

Another beautiful piece! I like your new website too.

Re: Mahogany Bookcase

Well done! A wise choice to miter the face frame to to sides. It does give the piece a strong presence.

Re: Craftsman King Bed

Very impressive. Beautiful finish too!

Re: No. 7 Shaker rocker, tiger maple

Another beauty Chuck! Love the color contrast between the dye and fabric. Working on any case pieces these days? I've been absent from my shop for a while and your furniture always inspires me to get my butt back in there.

Re: No. 5 Shaker side chair

Thanks for the offer Chuck. Unfortunetly not only do I own a Mac, but I feel my woodworking skills aren't sharp enough to take on chair making. I think I'll live vicariosly through your chairs.

Re: No. 5 Shaker side chair

Another great piece Chuck!

Re: shaker cupboard over chest

Thanks Chuck,
coming from you this is a great compliment. I am a huge fan of your work. We have a couple of good lumber yards in southern NH. Goosebay is where I got most of it for this piece. A little pricey though and I had to make several trips.
thanks

Re: mount lebanon reproduction table

Re: shaker cupboard over chest

Re: shaker nightstand

Thanks fidgen
Thats a shadow your seeing, but that is an interesting idea using darker wood for the drawer rails. Never thought of that.

Re: No. 0 Shaker Rocker

Another winner Chuck. Good to see posting again. I always look forward to your next.

Re: shaker cupboard over chest

thanks benchbolt. The doors are mortise and tenon

Re: shaker cupboard over chest

thanks deerfielder. The finish is water based dye followed by tung oil followed with shellac, gel stain (leaving the build up in the corners and moulding transitions), followed with more shellac.

Re: shaker cupboard over chest

Thank you PSeverin.

Re: Chuck Griffith Wins Shaker Gallery Challenge

Thank you Chuck for showing so much of your work. I too am thrilled by the shaker style and try to stay true to those elements in my work. Your work has served as inspiration to me and has caused me to be more diligent in spending time in the shop. I thank you for that. I hope you keep posting to the gallery as you complete new pieces.
Thanks
