I make things out of wood. I hope you like them. There is a value and a time and a place for mass-produced furniture and assembly line products.

But sometimes it's good to slow down, do something unique in a slow and difficult way, and end up with a project to be proud of. Every piece in this shop is handmade by me. I don't think anything is perfect, and no two pieces are exactly the same - that's what mass-production is for. There is life and character and charm in every piece, every imperfection.

I need more space. Doesn't everyone? Let's build a small lean-to shed on the side of our shop shed to hold our big tools! First time framing - how'd I do? 😜

If you have the chance, check out in Castro Valley! It's a super rad furniture restoration and design place with Dixie Belle Paints, cool antique/vintage materials, and a certain someone has a lil' self-serve section with his very own products there (hint: it's me!).

I've been doing a lot of epoxy projects recently (and tbh some gardening and household projects), so I figured on this chilly day it's a good time to get back to some woodworking. Learning a bit more about splines today. These are walnut and paduak on a maple domino box.

Happy belated National Unicorn Day! We used purple for the pips, and the domino itself is a custom blend of pink, pink, pink, lavendar, some teal, pink, and...pink. And glitter. And everything unicorn-ish I could find. Handmade, handpainted, hand trimmed.

These are spoken for, but you can make a custom request at suttonauthentic.com

Oooooh, glow in the dark! These pics are all the same set, just varying light levels (pitch black, dim, daylight). I love how they turned out, what do you think? Blue gitd powder, silver glitter, white pips. Handmade, handpainted, hand trimmed.

BTW, these are available now with free shipping at suttonauthentic.com

I can't tell if these handmade dominoes are more Aquaman or mermaid. Merman maybe.

Either way, I like them a lot.

These handmade dominoes worked out super cool - we used navy blue for the pips, and it pops against the frosty red and glittery cotton candy look. Handmade, handpainted, hand trimmed. Thanks for your help, and we'd love to hear more from you! What do YOU want to see?

Working on a super cool set of dominoes with a frosty red and glittery cotton candy look, but I need help - what color should we paint the pips?! Gotta make sure they can be seen clearly, and I'm stumped. What do you think?

First try for a iPhone/iPad dock for my bride. Turned out pretty cool. Purpleheart and koa wood from a trip we took years ago to Hawaii. Gotta go back sometime 😉
Should I make these available on my store?

We got these rad storage boxes, and we thought it'd be a great opportunity to add some seating in our kitchen area AND (pleeeeease) clean up a little. Pine+paint=solution. Just need to choose a fabric design and make (or ask grandma to make) a cushion for the top. :)

The Story (so far...)

I make things out of wood. I hope you like them.

I like knots and growth rings and curly figures and old stains and bug holes and dings and marks and ink that has shown the life of an object. I like to be reminded that some good things can last for generations, and some good things are only good for the weekend. The Japanese have a traditional aesthetic style called wabi-sabi - a way of looking at the world focused on the acceptance of imperfection and modesty. I like that.

I've made wood pieces and furniture and “art” for years, mostly for friends but sometimes on commission. This is a part-time thing, but I'd like it to be a full-time job for me and my family. I can promise you I will always do my best to make something as if it were for my own home. I love learning new techniques, trying new things, and evolving and growing.
