The Latest from the Oxford Shop





This is a storage cabinet 33 inches tall, 47.5 inches wide and 20.5 inches depth. The useable interior depth is 17 inches. The two drawers are 4 inches deep. The cabinet would function well as a sideboard and/or a bookcase in the center of the room. I am building furniture that does not require a wall on which to hide it's backside. The sides are frame and panel, the backs are finished and are attractive to look at as well.

Tapered Leg Bookcase




I am revisiting this bookcase on the Blog with additional pictures that highlight the beauty of this piece of furniture. The construction is of plain and quartered cut white oak, fumed with 26% aqua ammonia that reacts with the wood, darkening it naturally. I use no artificial dies or stains but let the oak patina mature over the years to a rich golden color. The size of this bookcase, 42 1/2 wide, 64 high and 15 1/2 deep, with an interior dimension of 12 1/2 depth and 13 between shelves allows for most books and/or three ring binders. The leaded glass doors are unique and function to protect the contents, yet allow for the color and viewing interest of its contents to be seen. They are a well constructed, "Made in Oxford, America" bookcase. All handmade by Casey Fisher, including all his imperfections - the furniture is real. Construction involves mortise and tenon joints, with wood pins used to lock tenons. The bookcase back is made from individual chamfer edged wood slats, and is beautiful in its own right. Presently there are two (2) available, and for the hours spent in R & D, design and building, the asking price is $3800.

End Table




This is the one remaining of three end tables made. It measures 21 wide, 30 deep and 29 1/2 high, with a drawer and single door. The top is parquet wood pieces in the interlocking ring pattern. The cabinet is constructed with mortised and tenon joints, made from both quartered and plain sawn white oak and fumed with 26% aqua ammonia. Finished with satin polyurethane varnish.

Display Case Finished


This is the seventh display case I've constructed. This display case is the same height and width as the others yet I think this one is two (2) inches deeper, from twelve (12) inches to fourteen (14) inches in depth. The left hand door has a catch at the top and the right hand door closes and locks into the left door. There are four (4) 1/4 inch thick glass shelves and three (3) lights recessed in the top with plug and cord with switch coming off the back. 731/2 x 40 x 16 inches
