Child's Rocking Chair

Recycled Bench

This bench was made from 100% recycled wood and being green at Wooden Treasures is my main objective. The trees it was made from were bulldozed down to clear room for a new building on CNM property. Two of the trees that would have been incinerated were air dried for over 1.5 years. After the moisture content was below 15% the tree trunks were tilled down and sized. This piece contains over 250 parts and weighs ½ ton.  The corners are solid square logs wrapped in a milled wood that has been angled and planed.  It has a marine grade finish. This is so it can stand up to the NM sun and heat.  This piece of art is on display at The Library on CNMs main campus.



Kitchen Cabinet

This cabinet has a full extension drawer for easy access.  It has two adjustable shelves for storing both large and small items.  The sides are made of MDF with Walnut veneer.  The drawer and cabinet door is made of solid Walnut. The door is assembled with mortise and tenon and the panel is held in with a rabbit joint. It is 3 ft tall, 2 ft 6 inches wide and 2 ft long, with a toe kick that can even fit even the biggest pair of boots.

Porch Repairs


This repair job took one week.  All the rails, styles, and faces were severally rotted. This job detailed complete demolition and rebuild. Pressure treated wood was used as well as a primer coat in between each layer of wood as well as priming all knots. I placed three coats of oil based paint after using wood epoxy to fill all nail holes.
