EJH Woodworks LTD was recently commissioned by the owner of a local salon to create a short offset cabinet for one of their Nail Technicians.

The cabinet is crafted from White Oak with shaker style flat panels, the top is a piece of Live Edge Spalted Maple and the drawers are built out of soft maple with Baltic Birch plywood bottoms. Full extension ball-bearing drawer slides were used to provide the smoothest action when opening and closing.

EJH Woodworks LTD was recently commissioned to build a very special piece for a family who lost a very dear loved one.

This piece became extra special as the person that passed was also a dear friend. The urn was created from the inside out with the innermost liner being made from aromatic red cedar with the entire drawer wrapped in white oak and a walnut cap to make the seam much cleaner.

The inner lining of the urn was crafted from white oak, and then the entire assembly was wrapped in African Paduak.

The outside inlays are done with black Ebony for a unique effect. To seal the unit once the cremains have been placed inside, We installed two deadbolts which are activated by spider keys, inserted from the bottom of the piece to allow the family to take part of the ashes to the Bonneville Salt flats in Utah next year, where they will be spread amongst the area where he set a 200 mph record in his class.

After thorough sanding, the unit was finished with several coats of wipe on polyurethane to give a finished look, but allow the natural beauty of the wood to show through. A special thanks to Dan Warther Woodworking for his assistance in getting the laser engraving done for the top in a timely manner and for his invaluable guidance in finishing the letters.

In our last post, I showed a series of pictures depicting the latest build to come off the bench…….a pedestal case for displaying a burial (casket) flag.

The pictures in that post showed the case to the final wood finish stage. This post is to show the completed piece.

It is an absolute honor to be trusted with a loved one’s flag, and at EJH Woodworks LTD we handle these with the utmost care and respect.

Here is the latest piece to leave the bench at EJH Woodworks LTD.

This a presentation case for a standard casket flag (9.5 feet long x 5 feet wide). This case is on a 2 3/4” pedestal base.

The construction is White Oak and Cherry with a 1/4” plate glass viewing pane.

The attached pictures show the build from rough lumber to finished piece. Once the flag is received it will be installed accordingly.

At EJH Woodworks LTD, our focus is not just centered on military cases and furniture.

Having a life long love of trucks, heavy equipment and machinery in general, it comes natural that we can create models of trucks, trailers and other various pieces of rolling stock.

The pictures below show a couple of semi tractor and trailer models that were created for a heavy haul driver in New Jersey. The trailer features a fully detachable neck and “flip-over” fourth axle. The assembled truck and trailer measures almost 7 feet in length and over 1400 individual pieces. Each piece of the units pictured are hand made and assembled.

NOTE: The pieces shown are not toys and are meant for shelf display.

If you are considering a replica of a piece of equipment or a truck, contact us today to talk about your ideas and vision.

EJH Woodworks LTD can create the heirloom of your dreams. Pictured below are
Two similar but very different cradles that were crafted for two families. One went to the west coast and the other stayed here in Ohio.

These pieces were designed from a “concept sketch” on a piece of notebook paper and then brought to fruition. The primary material is Spalted Maple with Cherry accents on one and the other is accented with Walnut.

Pieces of this complexity take approximately 100 hours to build and are designed and constructed to last many generations.

Contact us today so we can help bring your furniture or heirloom dream to reality.

At EJH Woodworks LTD, we can create all types of custom crafted home furniture pieces. If you desire live edge furniture, we can source slabs locally or if you have a particular slab that you want your piece created from we can work with that.

These two pieces were crafted with a walnut base and a hickory top. The coffee table features a clear center, poured river and both the wall table and the coffee table have “poured over” epoxy table top finishes. The tops were then color, sanded and buffed for the deep rich see-through finish.

The bases were crafted from walnut, stained to the desired color and then sprayed with catalyzed lacquer.

Recently EJH Woodworks LTD completed a group build of five standing flag cases for a group of veterans for the same family.

The attached pictures show the in-depth process starting with rough boards to a finished piece. We start with rough lumber and machine each piece to final dimension. Then as necessary if color is required for certain pieces throughout the build, we stain those pieces prior to assembly.

The final step is to spray several coats of catalyzed lacquer to provide that deep long lasting finish.

This flag case was created for a Gold Star Family who lost the service member in World War II in 1944.

We had very little information to start with. We were able to research backwards based on the information that was available to us so we could provide his uniform devices and service awards including his Silver Star and Purple Heart. Once we had those items, we then created a memorial appropriate to that.

A unique fact about this case: The family owned a coal company in Pennsylvania so all of the black material that is inlaid in the case is actually coal that has been epoxied in place. The entire construction, is walnut. The flag is a burial sized flag (9.5 ft x 5ft), and the background for the medals was an old Army Dress uniform jacket. All glass used in our projects is quarter inch plate glass to provide maximum strength and optimum U/V protection.

C3 Excavation recently approached us to see if we could create a simple set of sideboards to keep small items on the back of one of their flatbed service trucks. These were created from white oak and sprayed with five coats of marine grade lacquer. Then to facilitate installation, we actually took the pieces out on site and assembled them right to the truck. Please contact us so we can help you with any woodworking project. At EJH Woodworks LTD we can create anything from a simple plaque to highly detailed models.
