This cedar door is simply stunning. The door and its hardware are subtle and very inviting. The door is hung with hand forged iron strap hinges
(HF-40) and the door is latched with our interior latch set
(HF-14). The homeowner has chosen the ball & spear pattern. This cedar door is the entrance to a garden shed, and I think this entire garden must be a peaceful place, because walking down the path to the shed is so very tranquil. The homeowner put a lot of thought into this space.

Richard adapts and borrows freely from William and Mary, Queen Anne, Chippendale, and the Federal periods, and adds his own individuality. He does limited production runs, in addition to collaborating with customers to produce unique custom pieces. His use of mixed woods is very appealing on this particular William and Mary styled piece.

This is an early Connecticut home, lovingly restored by its owners, along with the help of an outstanding restoration contractor named Kevin Rooney. It took more than a year, and over the course of time, we got to know the owners pretty well. This is the inside of one of the exterior doors and shows the use of our HF-36
driven pintles with HF-40
strap hinges with Bean ends. The door is bolted from the inside with a
Slide Bolt. The
Suffolk latch has a handle on the outside and the bar set you can see here on the inside. Often it is hard to imagine exactly what the inside of a latch set actually looks like, but in this photo you can see the inside quite clearly.

David found the wood in an 1820 home in Chatham, MA, and he stored it for another 20 years in his basement. It is finally showing the light of day here. We are delighted that he chose our rosette
drawer pulls to compliment his piece.

This lovely blanket chest has some very interesting features. The graining of the white oak is outstanding and the raised panels add a formal element. Chris had us custom fabricate
blanket chest hinges with special ends for him. He inset both the strap and the back edge so that the chest would close perfectly. This was Chris's first major woodworking project and not only was it challenging, much of the work was done by hand.

Chad builds furniture in his spare time, mostly for family and friends. He uses cherry that is from trees he fell himself and milled with a chainsaw mill. His youngest daughter is the lucky recipient of a collection of pieces for her bedroom, including this nightstand. Chad uses all of our finishes, and this
rosette pull is perfect for the piece.

Designer: Sleepy Hollow Custom Kitchens, Sleepy Hollow, NY 914-631-3101
This home was built in 1790, but that 18th century builder never could have imagined what his creation would look like today. The homeowner meticulously researched every aspect of authenticity, and blended modern function with period details to create a masterpiece. The glass in the upper cabinet is antique seeded glass; and the countertops are granite. The cherry cabinets have raised panels and use our rat tail hinges on the uppers, butterfly hinges are used on the lowers and our forged knobs throughout. We are proud to have our kitchen cabinet hardware be a part of this lovely project.
