Planter boxes are back for a limited time!

I took a break from woodworking this past year after graduation and getting busy, but I had some time to build a few of these and wanted to offer them again. I’m not fully back into it yet — just making a small batch while I can.

✅ Made from cedar
✅ Lined with landscaping fabric
✅ Drainage holes in the bottom
✅ Built solid

📏 Dimensions: 16x16x16 inches
💲 Price: $30 each
📍 Located in Payne, Ohio

These are unsealed and pickup only this time.

Message me if you want one before they’re gone!

Just wrapped up this custom reception desk for a local gym!

It’s got a solid wood frame with a deep brown stain that really pops — and the black metal inside gives it a clean, modern feel without being too flashy. Built tough, but still warm and welcoming.

Super happy with how this one turned out!

P.S. First time working with metal… I’m a wood guy, so let’s just say my grinder and I are still learning to get along 😅

Just finished up this custom 4-tier pyramid planter for an awesome client who’s planting strawberries in it!
Built from western red cedar, sealed to handle the outdoors, and made to last. This was a super fun project, and I can’t wait to see it full of fresh berries!
