Very early square nail constructed desk
From furniture parts older than the desk. I would date to around 1830 - 1840. Had bottom leg rot so replaced the leg bottoms. All pilot coated and for sale at $175. Warped top but adds to the patina.

Onto the very early desk picked up from an old farm recently. Still retains some of the original green milk paint. Home made from various old lumber and furniture parts. Square nailed together thinking built 1860 - 1880? Was thinking school desk but it does have an old lock on it. So probably from a business, post office, railroad etc. Replaced all four leg bottoms as they rotted off over the years. Happy to have the opportunity to save it. These objects become more and more rare. Made from what very little folks had then.

It’s been a while since I posted. This is a smaller pie safe made from new lumber for the sides, back and shelves. Antique lumber for the front frame and trim. Integrated an early tin punched pie safe door to top it all off. All that’s left is to distress with the orbital sander and apply a coat of poly sealer. Fun project……

All cleaned up and distressed around the k***s etc. Menards color matched the paint perfectly so now just need to touch up all the raw wood where I made all my cuts. A little scuffing then a nice coat of clear poly.

Been a while but been working on the old kitchen cabinet bottom. With the damage and awesome color decided it would be a great dry sink. Still need to apply a backing, make one drawer (seems like one is always missing on the good pieces?) Then lower the entire cabinet by three inches. Should have enough scraps to make the ledge around the top. Reduced the size by a third to use one of the doors for the drawer front. I love the challenge. More to come……

So it’s been a while but all of this nice cool weather makes me want to dig out some pieces I have stored away. This is a early square nailed homemade cabinet bottom. Missing a drawer but we can make one. Let’s see how this turns out……

So the second to last quilt shop in Amana Colonies had primitives and folk art for sale. Could
not help myself with this fantastic homemade folk art Purple Martin birdhouse. Needs a few repairs but I can’t wait to get started. Going into my primitive antiques collection.
