Grew up helping my dad w/ woodworking & DIY projects. ❤ building things from an early age. Kahoy is a Tagalog word, meaning wood/timber/lumber.

I built a custom resawing fence for my 14" bandsaw last year. I finally got around to making a longer rail for it this afternoon. Now it will be possible to cut wider boards.

Part of my job as a woodworker is to produce prototypes for clients. We aren't always able to sell them, but it often sparks new ideas and products. This is a new design for an elliptical-ish white oak cabinet knob.

I turned a new handle for one of our old pot lids today. So wood turning can be a good way to extend the life of cookware. 😄

We got an order for a set of 72-inch planter boxes based on a referral from another customer we made similar planters for. Like they say, word-of-mouth is often the best form of advertising.

I turned a prototype for a 1" diameter white oak cabinet knob today. Seems like a good one to add to the store.

A customer wrote us this morning to say how happy she was with her semicircle drawer and cabinet handles. It was important to maintain the overall aesthetic of her mid-century ranch home and metal hardware looked too busy.

A customer asked me to make a small step for her cat's litter box. This is what I came up with. The step is 14" x 6" x 3" and has a removable tray for cleaning litter that falls through the holes.

A prototype for a custom white oak cabinet knob hand turned on the lathe. I opted to use carbide tools this time, as white oak is so difficult to cut.

It was good timing when a customer messaged me on a supply run to the Home Depot this morning that she needed a couple of our smaller planter boxes. I think these turned out really nice.

I really like white oak, but not how flaky the sap wood can be.

A set of white oak drawer pulls in various styles and sizes. Time to move onto the next order in my queue, a set of appliance handles. Wooden handles aren't something a lot of woodworkers would consider making, but they are popular with homeowners.

I picked up a couple of nice white oak boards this morning. These will be used to make appliance handles etc. The guy at my lumber store said the tariffs hadn't affected their pricing yet, so hopefully that continues to be the case.🤞

It seems like the T-shaped drawer pulls I designed a few years ago have gotten to be popular again. It's definitely one of my favorites.

I'm planing some shorter pieces of white oak to make into drawer pulls. I've found that starting with thicker 5/4 lumber is often easier than trying to flatten a 4/4 board. Thickness planing is a good way to blow off steam too. 😄

It's always nice to receive a message from a customer about a job well done. 😍 We've been making these white oak appliance handles for several years now.

I finished migrating our website kahoycrafts.com to a new cloud hosting provider last night. We were previously hosting with AWS/Lightsail.

I personally can't stand Bezos and his greedy ways.

I finished up a set of rounded wood drawer pulls for a customer this morning. These are made of unfinished white oak. These handles can work for both drawers and cabinets.
