Atelier ~ Mark Downing: A Lovely Woodworking Studio
http://markdowning.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-lovely-woodworking-studio.html
Monday, November 17, 2014. A Lovely Woodworking Studio. One of the positive effects of aging is that I am now working on a project for the son of one of my special friends and sometimes client. Rex and Emily approached me about a design for a very special combination garage and shop. We started out thinking alot about Bernard Maybeck's work and we were especially taken with the Mathewson House. I've always loved this design and have long wanted an opportunity to play with it. Here is what I came up with.

Atelier ~ Mark Downing: February 2015
http://markdowning.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 22, 2015. A Pair of Front Doors for my Daughter. My daughter and her family have returned from years of living overseas to reside in Portland. I designed a pair of doors for her new house that are eight feet tall, five feet wide, and two and a quarter inches thick. Lang, my daughter, and I designed a family crest in the style of a Japanese Komen. This is what we developed. The idea was to carve it into the center panel on both sides of each door.

Atelier ~ Mark Downing: Armoire
http://markdowning.blogspot.com/2012/12/armoire.html
Monday, December 03, 2012. I am slowly working on creating a new blog and website. Until that is up, though, I will continue to try to post here. I recently had a project I did about a year ago, photographed professionally. I was asked to design and build an armoire that also opened out into a murphy bed. We wanted this cabinet to look very old, refined, and elegant and yet present a very deep character. Then there was the opportunity to work in fine detail. I want to build more cool furniture like this.
