Custom bench made from solid Knotty Alder and stained in Early American
Customer brought me this granite that had and asked if I’d build them some end tables using the granite. Built the tables out of solid Walnut and inlaid the granite. Stained it with an Avant Cherry color.
This is a post from a recent customer.
Thank you Denise Hammond for the recommendation of Paul Adams! These are the beautiful end tables he made with some granite we had left from our kitchen remodel a few years ago.
Well here’s one of our latest cabinets. We built 3 medicine cabinets and this cabinet for the customers living room.
Built with solid Knotty alder and stained an English Chestnut
Well we (Jeffrey Stahlhut) finally got the new cooler built for the front porch and traded out the small basket of goodies to this new set up.
The wife DeAnna Adams still puts snacks and drinks out for all the delivery folks, USPS, Fedex, UPS & Amazon..........well mainly Amazon since they seem to live here with all the stuff we buy.
Just a little something to say “ Thank you for all you do”

I haven’t posted in awhile. Here’s an old cabinet that a friends grandfather made years ago.
He asked me to refurb it so it could be turned into a humidor.
Stripped it down, new stain and clear coat, cut doors to add glass and lined with cedar.
Before and after pics of a recent update I spoke about in our doors.
If you remember from my previous post I removed the original builder grade door off the bathroom and modified it. This process makes your builder grade door look like a nice wood door.
The process:
1. Remove old door
2. Light sand the door
2. Mixed cream paint with some light green tint and apply 2 coats.
3. Brush on Early American stain, let sit for about 3 minutes then lightly wipe off, repeat opposite side after first side dries.
4. Brush on Jacobean Antique Glaze, let set for about 3 minutes then lightly wipe off, repeat opposite side after first side dries.
5. Do not try to make it look perfect as the imperfections and color variation (from wiping off) give it the character it needs.
6. If your happy with the results then
7. Finish with 3-4 clear coats and once dry, repeat on opposite side.
8. Add new hardware
9. Reinstall the door
Makes it look like a real wood door, but man what a process
Well here is my latest refurb job.
• cut out the old drawers and part of the top
• sanded the top completely down and gave it a new stained top
• frame out for the new seat
• built a seat out of a headboard that was part of the old set
• built bead board backing/sides for the seating area
• painted the frame with an off white chalk paint
Well, out with old and in with the new. I replaced our old lamp above the table with this rustic looking one. I still have to add the mason jars to it (waiting on parts) and once it hangs and pulls out the slack it’s going to look good.
I’m going to add this same style box above the kitchen sink and then eventually build wood valances for the windows to tie it all together.
• made from Knotty Alder
• Early American stain
• Mason jar lighting.
Well another project almost complete, need to add the crown molding.
Custom coffee bar
• knotty alder Wood
7 drawers w/full extension slides
• oil rubbed bronze hardware
• 2 antique pendant lights with Edison bulbs
• shelf for coffee maker
• custom made stain
• clear coat
• 36”w x 19”d x 80”t
Here’s some pics of the most recent kitchen update.
• Trimmed out the end caps for a shaker look with Hard Maple
•Removed and added new crown molding
• Added light rail molding to the uppers
• Houston Faux came in made it all come together with a new paint makeover
Well we finally finished a was this install today.
Took off the old white builder grade doors that were coming apart and built new doors made from Knotty alder.
Thank you Lord for the amazing customers. Never in my life would ever have imagined building things like this, little alone ever having my work in people’s homes for years to come. Man, what an honor and blessing.
Well, just a little I just need to paint the upper cabinets and I’ll finally have the new utility room complete.
Pics are in the order of what it looked like when we first moved in, to me building cabinets and stacking the washer and dryer (didn’t like it so I gutted and started over) to the almost final product.
The new design allowed for easier access to washer and dryer plus it gave us more counter space for folding clothes. I think it made it look more open as well. We even added mood lighting to help one enjoy doing clothes more soothing lol.
