Part of my first delivery to St. George Island in Florida. The house is located on the Gulf of Mexico and is just beautiful. This four story house is available for rent but is usually booked a year in advance ... seven bedrooms, heated pool on the beach with a hot tub - and what a view from every room. Each bedrooms had it's own theme and a very large kitchen for guests. What a great house for a vacation or family reunion. This furniture will be overlooking the Gulf of Mexico for years to come. Fully painted two coats of Benjamin Moore White exterior Low Lustre paint. "Sit back, relax and look cool."
Posted on 4/29/12Two tall ottomans / stools that go with the above white set. This shows how
the ottomans can be also used as tall stools combined with one of the tall tables
for extra seating. Each of the tall ottomans have a handle grip built into the top.
The table top is 34" high and the seat height is approx. 24.5" high. New design
for the foot rest is shown.
Posted on October 16, 2011Yow!!! What a way to stand out! Stained using Sikkens - Cetol 1.
The color is Ebony and the 3 coats make these chairs shine
in the early morning sunshine.

My most popular design, the Destin Harbor Collection features 25.5" high seats designed to give you a great view of your surroundings, "above the rail." One chair arm includes a built-in drink holder; perfect for drinking coffee in the morning or a tall, cool beverage in the afternoon or evening.
Chair back designs include the popular "slice of bread shape", single sailboat, picket fence (vertical or fan shape), dolphin, football, surfboards, and more.
A new matching tall ottoman doubles as a comfortable 24.5" stool.
This collection also features side tables in five models: umbrella model, two oval tops, and two rectangular tops.

Tall Deck Chairs. The top is approx. 22.5" wide and 39" long.
This custom made table has a top and lower shelf made from IPE.
"It's pretty incredible. You were absolutely correct about just taking the chair (surfboard model) home in the back of my truck. People at traffic lights were not only gawking at the chair, but were saying how cool they thought it was as well as asking information about it. My friends were truly impressed with the look and quality of your chair."

"I can already see your furniture on my new deck this coming Spring. The toughest decision will be which stain to choose because they all look great."
"I can already see ordering some of your chairs for my parents - they love to sit outdoors."

- teak color - one coat gives the stain a "flat" look ... not glossy.
Compare with picture above that has 3 coats of stain - "Cetol 1" - Teak.
Posted on February 9, 2012Custom paint colors. Bottom foot rest has been lowered
for a tall person. Another great addition for a backyard
in time for the beautiful Spring weather in Florida. Just
shouting out loud ... SURF'S UP!
Posted on Feb. 2, 2012Custom painted surfbard chair. This picture was taken on
a Florida beach. The surfboard on the right has handpainted
zebra stripes on the white center of the pink surfboard. The
pink surfboard is pink on both sides. Surfboard on the left
has purple stripes. Perfect design to stand out anywhere.
Sikkens stain - teak color - Cetol 1
Posted on February 12, 2012Two surfboard chairs. The chair to the right has a lower foot rest for
a tall person. These chairs really are comfortable, look good here but
look great in person. Wish you were here in Florida to see for yourself.
Surfboard chair - This is the top of the line of my designs ... both
surfboards are fully painted on both sides. The left surfboard is
"Good Morning Sunshine" yellow & the right is a pastel light green.
The left surfboard also has a white stripe down the middle. This
chair has three coats of Sikkens Stain - Cetol 1 - teak color. I also
painted over the pegs on the left surfboard but stained the pegs on
the right surfboard to show different options. Add marine grade
stainless steel (#316) for a long lasting chair on your dock, deck or
porch near the salt air of the Gulf of Mexico.
Backside picture shows the fully painted surfboards. These two
colors really stand out from the teak colored stain. Customers who
sit in this chair say it is very comfortable on your back.

I have another planter in the GO GREEN Collection made from fence boards.
Same size as the smaller box above but not stained and topped with IPE.
Picture was posted on 9/06/10.
Posted on 9/19/10Inside view of the larger planter box. 4 slats with 3/4" gaps.
Slanted boards on both sides help direct excess water through the bottom.
Could be made for any college team.Two LSU football chairs - "His and Hers" design with alternating colors.
This is actually an original design from 3 years ago. I have made a lot of
improvements since then including making the football smaller, changed
the foot rests, more bracing under the chair seats but same concept.
Front side of potential new post card showing off my surfboard chairs & surfboard tables. I give these post cards out
at shows, in my workshop/showroom and when I am out and about. People ask me for one of my business cards all
the time & this is what they get - I hope they put it on the refrigerator for a future order. I recently have had several inquiries from people who saw my furniture at past shows - 2 and 3 years ago resulting in two new orders for 2012.
This surfing picture in the background was actually taken of a local surfer in the Gulf of Mexico off Ft. Walton Beach.
Back side of the above potential future post card. This is an F-15 USAF jet that used to fly out of Eglin Air Force Base
here in Ft. Walton Beach. I am a 33rd Fighter Wing "Honorary Commander" from the 2003 group and got to fly in one
of these. They have just been replaced by the newest F-35 & I look forward to just sitting in the cockpit of one of these
mega-million dollar fighter jets. I might even miss a day of work to do that. So if I am not at the shop when you come
by, just look up for a really fast, upside down fighter jet - it could be me out for a ride playing around. I might even go
and fly over the Gulf of Mexico coast looking for sharks like I did the first time.
