Beam Supports:
Rather than to run a column to the floor, why not use an Xtreme Beam Support. This one is 9” in diameter & about 24” long. The woods used are: Walnut, Cherry, Curly Maple, Bolivian Rosewood, and a touch of Brazilian Tulipwood. The reason I did this is to stray away from the straight-line look of columns used in normal construction. It lets the wall & beam flow together, but doesn’t interrupt the wall for the length of the room. You could also coordinate room colors into the woods I would use to make them. I will produce these in any size, either out of one kind of wood or multiple woods as shown here.

Specialty Beams:
This one is a solid Walnut 2x8 that spans 15 feet and is made up of three pieces. The reason for three pieces is the placement of the fan. I wanted to elevate the fan and also place the fan in a particular area in the room. Pay attention to the detail, the three pieces of the Beam are joined together by Dovetail joints (below-left) that are about three inches wide. Where the fan attaches to the Beam is usually done by using some kind of a flat plate. I wanted a more pleasing look, to transition together rather than just attaching a fan to a beam (below-right). There is still a metal plate between the brass cone and the wood for electrical safety.

Window Treatments or Moulding:
If you have beautiful sceneary and a large bay window, why not frame the window as you would a fine picture. This window is done in natural ¾ inch Cherry with the sun at the top of the window being 1¼ inch thick Walnut to give depth to the design. It adds, so much, of a focal point to the room. The pigment in the color of the cherry will keep getting darker & richer with time, this window will become more dramatic with age.

This is custom modular cabinetry I designed & built for M&M General Repair. (Above) - Is a transition desk that is completely freestanding. The (employees only) sign on the saloon doors was hand painted on before finishing. (Below) - the M&M on the front was cut out of ¾ inch walnut & topped with ¼ inch oak to achieve a shadowed look.

This is a custom vanity that is solid Cherry with a Corian top. The inspiration for this simple, yet elegant style was the faucet. I wanted to achieve a classy old-world feel. I made the mirror in this particular shape because I wanted it to be as wide as possible, yet, get the mirror down between the outlets. The remodel also included some hideaway cabinets.

This is a wooden surfboard I built for a client that has a 57 Jeep Panel Wagon street rod. It was basically built like a boat. The frame work was made than I covered it with ¼” thick strips of walnut. Very cool project.
