FRANK'S WOOD SHOP PAGE
Welcome to FRANK'S WOOD SHOP page. Here you will find examples of
some of the one of a kind, hand crafted items I make. My items are
made from old and new cedar, black walnut, oak, apricot, peach,
and mesquite, as well as recycled fence wood.
Here you will find hand turned lamps, wooden lamp shades, ornamental
bird houses, and weedpots. I also make wooden stars from recycled
fence wood, as well as new cedar. Some are plain, and some are a
little more fancy.
Wooden shades add a nice soft light to your room, perfect
for watching televesion, or for reading in your easy chair while
not disturbing others.
All of my wood items are sealed with a polyurethane varnish
to protect the wood.
The pictures on this page will change from time to time, as I get
time to work on the page. As you can tell it is still in the
construction phase. I am not a web page designer, but rather a wood
worker. Please come back to check on new items.
