 French Ch�teau (click for larger photo)Recent works include a stunning solid Mahogany English library. This 16' by 20' room includes a granite counter wet bar, audio center, and fireplace. Ten individual bookcases units were custom built and fitted within the room using hand carved moldings. Hand planed raised paneling surrounds the doors and fireplace.

The library stands as a full room of artistic representation in this 11,000 square foot reproduction French Chateau. The home, designed and decorated by the home owner, provides the perfect setting for this one of a kind hand crafted room.

Completing this room provided a rare treat for Stanley and Eric, as it is unusual to have the opportunity to work on such a large scale in solid wood. This work stands to date as our crowning achievement in custom libraries.

These double mahogany bookcase units are actually sections of a built in room divider. Units like these can be any size and stand free in a room, against a wall, or can be used as a sectional divider.

Each two unit section is bridged together with moldings, and they stand back to back creating a four unit cluster.
