Three-Tier Bottle Shelf

Because what bar can’t use an extra fifteen feet of shelving? Made from construction lumber and scrap plywood, 13 1/2″ H x 60″ W x 15 3/4″ D. You can visit them at Bar Harbor in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood.

Walnut Sales Counter Desk and Bookshelf with Matching Shelves and Secondary Table

I was delighted to accept this commission for my local neighborhood used book store (Pegasus Books in West Seattle), as in my other life I am a writer of fiction and occasional non-fiction, and an avid reader going back more than four decades. Built to spec from Armor-core walnut plywood and walnut planks cut into a subway tile pattern, and featuring two locking cash drawers, two office supply drawers, an integrated power strip and CPU platform, and about 27′ worth of 10″ deep shelving, I am very happy with how this 84″ x 33″ x 24″ sales counter/bookshelf/desk turned out. I also built this sturdy matching stand for a card catalog and three shelves with flared sides to hold books up (the third isn’t shown, as it had to be trimmed before I could install it, and I did not take pictures after).

Day Bed Frame with Storage Cabinet and Shoerack Shelf

One of the more idiosyncratic things I’ve built, for the same clients as these built-in bookshelves. Douglas Fir and Birch Plywood, new material. Built onsite under a rain shelter, with the client’s chickens to keep me company.

Offered for sale: $45. For more information, or to commission a spice rack, email dt@dtfabs.com.

Teredo Clamwood Bookshelf

Salvaged Teredo Clamwood. 96″ tall x 36″ wide, shelves 10″ deep x 11″ high.

Built this as part of a larger renovation/installation. Teredo clamwood is milled from logging booms used to float timber down Puget Sound. The textured holes/tunnels are made by Teredo Clams, who dig burrows in the booms and live their lives there. The picture above is of the final installation, nestled next to an alternating-tread stair (to an attic I renovated) made of the same material.
