This is the latest remodeling job. I am trying to spark new life into an
entry way and stairway with a four by five foot landing. The treads, risers and the
landing are made of ash. Base molding, door and window treatments are also
made of ash. With plans of making a six foot set of bifold paneled doors for the
entry closet and a coat rack with a mirror and moldings to match the window and
door casings.
More photos to follow upon completion.
Many of the images on this page can be enlarged by clicking on the image.
Take a look at the Bifold doors construction
that have been
completed for this entryway remodel and the wall
mount coat rack.
This is the stair landing after it was assembled and a coat of sanding
sealer applied to both sides. It is constructed to resemble a sunburst.
The rays follow the turn that must be made to go up to the next string of
stairs.

This is in the pain staking process of gluing up the tapered ash
boards. Only four to five boards could be glued at a time because of the
angles changing so quickly with each board.

This is the tapering jig I made up to make cut the boards for the
landing. |
