Did you know I do custom special orders? Yep, sure do! This is a kitchen set in black walnut that I recently completed for a customer.
I promised a BIG announcement, here it is! It seems like the price for EVERYTHING is up right now. So, I've decided to provide a little economic relief, Mel Turns Wood style! For the time being I will be LOWERING the price on everything I create that I sell at Fayetteville Farmer's Market! Come on out and see me tomorrow, Saturday, from 7-1!
Don't forget that Mother's day is next weekend! All my Basketweave Illusion pieces are 15% off tomorrow, and all purchases of $40 or more will receive a FREE woodturned keyring!

Mother's day is just over a week away and I have a special for all who are mom shopping at this weekend and next week! You will receive a FREE woodturned keyring with any purchase over $40! Also, I have FREE Mother's Day cards with purchase.
Stay tuned - tomorrow I have a cool announcement that you are all going to LOVE!!!

Ok, we can all start doing our "no rain on Saturday" dances now! Sadly, it is supposed to be YUCK weather tomorrow morning, so I will not be attending Fayetteville Farmer's Market in the morning. (April 4th). Weather permitting, you will find me back in my regular spot on the east side of the Fayetteville square next Saturday!!!

I ❤️ skateboards & I ❤️ Niles bottle stoppers and openers! Kinda like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups of woodturning when you combine them together!!
