Dave built the shaker boxes on the desk in the family room using no glue and tiny nails. The Shakers believed in simplicity, Anita said.

Dave built the dining room table and bench in their  Maeystown home. The table is made of cherry wood. I love cherry because as it ages it gets more beautiful, he said.
