The 'Original' Lantern Tavern.
In Spokane, Washington's Perry District.
I designed and built this small tavern from extremely old
barnwood using mortise and tenon joinery on all of this
cabinetry. The bar is all raised paneling that is very challenging

on the table saw and is constructed from five parts.

This bar was designed after my barnwood coffee table
and that's why it has the wedged tenons on each side.
