VA Pie Safe
Virginia Food Safe
Quite a few years ago we were asked to give a talk on the construction joinery used to build a variety of Virginia food safes or commonly called pie safes which were made in the Shenandoah valley.
Open for a new home
Open or shut, this is a piece to last multiple lifetimes. An heirloom to hand down through generations. Cherry from "Helmley" one of the earliest homes in the upper Shenandoah Valley. Local poplar secondary wood for shelves, and drawer sides, backs, and bottoms. Along with the paneled back.
A gallery to keep all
A dovetailed gallery encompassing the sides and back.
A continuous one-piece post with a hand turned legs
