Before we Went Viral

Posted on by Andrew Roy Woodworking

A little while back I did a collaboration with Maker and Goods, a startup web platform designed to curate and sell hand-made goods. I shared it with all those I could and while the company did not get the funding it needed to take off I think their goal is still a good one. Plus, their videos of me are still online. I have only watched it once because I have a hard time hearing my recorded voice. It just sounds weird coming back at me. But you are welcome to watch over and over and over. 

 

La Crema Barn Doors

Posted on by Andrew Roy Woodworking

Barn-style doors, designed by Von Saal Design Build in Napa, CA for La Crema Winery. Salvaged 17 foot redwood wine staves were scraped of crystallized wine residue, milled down, re-sawn and rebuilt. Great care was taken to retain as much of the burgundy wine tint as possible. Doors were built with generous mortice and tenon joinery and a true through crossbar (most are just nailed on across the panels) adding torsion strength to the door. Doors were finished with a rubbed-effect lacquer, bringing out the warmth of the burgundy and ambers in the wood. These giant doors - each one comes in at 8' 10" tall and 54" across - will be hung from an industrial steel track and serve as the entryway from the main tasting room to the VIP tasting area.
