We can’t wait to welcome you into The Wellcott and share everything we’ve created. 🏡

A personal project I finished just last week: An Heirloom/Jewelry/Cigar Box. Rarely do I get to work with this fine of detail, so it was a pleasure working on something where even the smallest mistake would have been noticeable. It is comprised of Birdseye Maple and Wenge woods finished in Boiled Linseed Oil and Shellac. The inside is lined in Spanish Cedar. The top has a very subtle inlay and all the hardware is Brusso Brass Hardware. I’m hoping to make more pieces like this in the future because it was such a fun and tedious project.

I just completed this massive 44’ x 12’ composite deck rebuild with a 7.5’ x 7.5’ landing and a 17 step staircase! All decking is TimberTech Azek (colors Castle Gate and Boardwalk). The deck features a triple splitter board and boarder, with picture framed steps and a double reveal fascia.

It was important to the homeowner to match the landing/stair railing to the original/existing railing, so I got to work with my new friends at Artistic Iron Works. Kevin offered his expertise and his crew completed their job in a timely and efficient manner. They were a pleasure to work with.

Before ever starting the job, i carefully considered how i would work around and with the existing brick columns. I offered the unique idea of recessing the structural steel 4x4s and beam into the brick columns in order to make the new framing both code compliant and unobtrusive to the eye. This is due to a new paver patio being installed this summer. This is a solution to a problem that the homeowner didn’t know he’d have had another company simply came in and, “banged out this project”. I’d like to personally thank my friend Clint at Chapman Built Decks for helping me frame the majority of this beast in a timely manner. Additionally a huge thanks to my masons for all the tuck pointing.

Simply a pleasure working with this family. I look forward to them enjoying some cool summer evenings on their new deck!
