Young Pluto, 2022...before he grew into his ears.

Sometimes inspiration for designs goes back decades. First pic is an end table I just finished. Black walnut with a hand-rubbed wax finish. Design is a mini version of a figured cherry table shown in the second pic. #endtable #credencetable #cherrytable #altar #churchfurniture #furniture

Finished this table today. Base is antique and I made the top.

16 is beautiful. 17 is too, and maybe a message that is not as trendy as it should be.

“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭

Cutting the perfect circle. Setup took a minute. Actual sawing was easy.

Lights are back on at Chapelwood. Seems like a restore theme has been going on lately. Tonight some beautiful cherry wood is being glued to make a new tabletop top for these antique legs.

You learn a lot about the state of our society when you post something on facebook marketplace.

Alice, a stray tuxedo kitten, only survived because of a friend who fostered her to survival. As a kitten, Pluto the tiger was living all alone under a mobile home near a gator-infested pond. Both now live the good life, spoiled to bits by a couple of empty nesters.

Here’s a piece I made that holds a ton of meaning. This urn is made from butternut with padauk inlay. Lots of symbolism using the wood grain and sapwood.

3-tiered bookcase I made a few years ago. My grandfather came up with the design back in the 50's.

Intruders …or dinner. Scared…or wanting to follow instincts.
