My furniture is traditional arts and crafts style with mortise and tenon joinery, beautifully grained wood and relief carvings, all with a strong emphasis on hand-work. Furniture is my passion but I also construct custom built-ins, bookcases and cabinetry, as well as lathe turned bowls and accessories. Steven's work is often featured at Vermont Artisan Designs in Brattleboro, VT. www.vtart.com 1/10/15 - The Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers accepted Steven into the Guild. |

how it's made..........It's in the details.
My first gunstock for one of my rifles, model 700 Remington .270. Started from scratch from a piece of curly soft maple that had been seasoned for 10 plus years. All inletting was done by hand with inletting black. The stock is custom to my build. I didn't get too carried away with it but the butt of the stock has a 5 degree toe out to fit into my shoulder, and the length of pull is for my build.
For the finish I used a stain that I liked with many, many hand rub coats of Danish oil and tru oil, and finally buffed with wax to repel water. Here is the photo documentary...
