This wardrobe was my first major project in the woodshop, which my wife Emily and I worked on together. It is constructed of solid maple, with poplar drawer boxes. Behind the door on the left are four adjustable shelves.
From beginning to end I would guess the piece took over six months to complete, thanks to its inherent intricacy and my initial lack of experience with furniture making. Michael Wilson of Wilson Woodworking did the spray lacquer finish.
This maple dining room table took considerably less time to make than the wardrobe pictured above. Its top measures 40 by 60 inches, with two 18 inch wide leaves (not shown). I used cherry to for the arch accent. At some point I hope to make chairs to match. I hired Wilson Woodworking to do the spray lacquer finish on this piece as well. 
This maple coatrack hangs just inside our back door and has a Danish oil finish. 
This message center occupies a wall in our kitchen. The unit is built into the wall, and houses a phone jack. The back side of the open door is a metalic chalkboard surface, as is the recessed right side. The inside of the door and the narrow center panel are both cork board. Three angled slots hold mail, and a small shelf and drawer hold other items such as siccors, stamps, envelopes, etc.
I selected branches from downed maple trees that I climb over and around in my field research sites to make the legs of this side board. Some of the legs show "spalting," a staining pattern produced by fungal growth in the trees' phloem after the branch dies. This table also features a maple top (pieces left over from the dining room table project), and I finished it myself with spray lacquer.
I had decided the bank of closets in our back room needed doors, and those doors needed some sort of ventilation to allow wet shoes and jackets to dry. The solution? Louvered doors. After a little research I learned that custom-size louvered doors are extremely expensive. The materials, however, would not be nearly as pricey. So I purchased some yellow birch and went to work. I first needed to make a jig for accurately routing slots for the louvers. I routed a slot on either end of each louvered slat (520 total slots for fours doors) and then milled and routed the slats themselves (260 total). The doors are unfinished at the moment, but I believe I'll use Danish oil to deepen the color just a little. 
Inspired by some suggestions our friends gave us for how to utilize the open space in the middle of our kitchen, Emily and I designed this utility table. The top is maple butcher block, and the base is painted poplar. A kitchen garbage can slides out on the left side of the table, and two recycling bins slide out on the table's right side.My father, Mark, started building this canoe when I was in high school, but the project lost its momentum and the hull sat unfinished for a number of years. Since I had access to Dartmouth's woodshop, I made some canoe seats, the yoke and two thwarts out of cherry and gave them to my father for Christmas in 2005. The next spring I flew home to Minnesota to help finish the inside of the hull and install the gunwales, seats, thwarts and the remaining hardware. After four solid days of work, the boat looked like this with only some minor finishing work remaining.
My father built the hull from a pattern in Gil Gilpatrick's book, Building a Strip Canoe. It is designed as an open-water tripping boat: 18 feet long and weighing around 80 pounds. It also handles like a dream (or so I'm told; I haven't been able to paddle it quite yet).
