Pantry Cabinet:

Finished up a pantry cabinet this past week! It was fun building a larger piece for a great longtime customer. I really enjoyed trying out concealed hinges for the first time. The adjustable functions of a concealed hinge are hard to beat. The dimensions and shelf spacing were created to meet the specific needs of the customer. The cabinet is unfinished and ready for paint.

On to the next job!

Oak Shadow Box:

I enjoyed staining this shadow box with a lighter stain (ipswich pine - my favorite stain name). It will be used to hold the customers medals from various marathons. I also like the style of the Home Depot latches. They come in three varieties and the nickel worked really well!

Christmas Trees!

It is almost that time of year! This past week, I had an order for ten wooden trees for a holiday craft night. These trees are perfect for getting together and being creative! I have enjoyed making these over the last four years and seeing all the unique designs.

Let me know if you would like to decorate a tree or have a party or event and would like trees. The trees are $12 each and you can send a PM or post below. Thank you!

Elliott's Mower

Elliott loves zero-turn mowers! He hopes to have a mowing company one day, and he spends hours looking at mower catalogs from a local lawn service. Ovér the past few weeks, he started working on a zero-turn using some of my scrap wood. Off he went, going back and forth between the scroll saw and CA glue. I helped towards the end to help mount the tires. He even made a w**d eater, backpack blower and a gas can to top it off. He did a great job!

Display Shelves:

Finished up some unique display shelves for a good friend and longtime colleague. Paul is an AMAZING artist who makes some of the most unique mugs you will ever see. The display shelf is made from pine and sassafras woods, and can be set up and broken down in seconds. It is four feet long and all parts interlock. Paul's mugs will be on display and sold at local shows! Check out the last picture to see some of his mug designs!

The Bookshelf Tree:

This was a new build for me, and boy was it fun! Recently a customer reached out to ask about creating a bookshelf in a tree shape for their baby's nursery. The bookshelf tree is 4 feet tall, sturdy and has plenty of room for books and stuffed animals. The tree was finished with special walnut stain and poly.

Wishing this family the very best and many blessings! Thanks again!

Custom Oak Mantle:

Yesterday was install day for this custom mantle. We had much discussion over the past several weeks to plan out the design and dimensions for the build. It was great to see it installed in its new home! This build features red oak with early american stain.

Thank you Burnetts!
