1870's farmhouse, Freeman, MO 

Victorian Wedding Arbor. This was so much fun to build

Top of one of the columns I built for my niece's house in Great Bend, Ks 

This is a staircase in Harold's Smokehouse, Freeman, Mo.  it is original to the antebellum house we tore down, and rebuilt inside the restaurant. I stripped off several layers of paint, and replaced a few pieces, but it is mostly original. 

I think this is near Martin City, MO. 

Home sweet home...

A photo I took while hanging around in the rafters of an 1880's barn we tore down in the Amarugia Highland, Cass County, MO. Many of the beams, rafters, post, and such were of walnut, and oak. I made a lot of good furniture out of this barn...and maybe a lot of mulch.


Here is just one of many pieces i made with the fine wood out of the barn.


Victorians In Missouri

Located in Harrisonville Missouri, this Victorian was owned, and lovingly, painstakingly restored by my Brother, and his wife throughout the years they lived there.  This house was home to two mayors through its lifetime, one was Henry Washington Younger, father of Cole, Bob, Jim, and John, known as the Younger gang, infamous partners of Jesse James.
