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.
