Marietta Wood Works started out as a hobby, born of a father's example and a love of natural wood. For a brief period, it turned into a full time vocation of designing and building custom furniture pieces and doing some repair and restoration work. At least for now, woodworking is back to being an "as-time-permits" avocation.

Here are some Marietta Wood Works projects from the recent and not so recent past.

Oak Country Hutch

This hutch is almost all solid oak, including 8/4 tops and hand made beadboard back..

Craftsman Sideboard

This sideboard was build with red oak. The project plans appeared in Woodsmith Magazine No. 163.

Blanket Chest Seat

This seat featured painted wooden slats to coordinate with the accent wall of the room it was built for.

Craftsman Table

This table was a perfect project for a straight line wood worker.

Office Table

This table was born of a need and a pile of scrap lumber.

Book Stand and Magnifier

This project included a bookstand and a magnifier with a fresnel lens that could be rotated 90 degrees.

Country Cupboard

This cupboard was designed to complement some existing pieces and fit on the end of a refrigerator.

Corner Cabinet

This corner cabinet was designed to complement some existing features of the room, like the white beadboard ceiling.
