Coffered Barrel Vault Ceiling

Rift Sawn White Oak Coffered Barrel Vault Ceiling

Joseph, great work. Did you do all of it or just the ceiling? Did you use flex moulding or is it all solid oak? If you don't mind me asking what was the price tag for that job?

I did it all and it's all solid oak. Came out to roughly $70,000 ($72,000 installed). Thanks for the compliment.

In regrards to your ceilling job I'm afraid I have to go a bit further than 'nice job' It is F****ng beautiful!I'm no woodcrafter (not yet)but I am an acomplished artist and I must say you are one highly skilled artisan.But I'm sure you already are aware of this.Keep it up!

Joseph,
Beeyootifull! I just have one question. I can't tell if the individual components are all curved or straight. If they are curved what kind of molder did you use?

Reilly:

Everything is curved, including the matched panels. They were done with a tilting spindle shaper.

Joseph,
I don't think you did the curved veneered panels on the shaper did you? Were they vacuum bagged or did you make a press?

Yes, they were vacuum bagged.

Joseph,
This ceiling is truly spectacular.
I visited your website and all of your work is just as great. I love to see that there are still craftsmen left on this planet. Keep it up.
