Built the chicken coop last weekend I think our girls will be happy with it.

Getting more done on the greenhouse. The front wall is now finished.
The entry way walls will be made out of bottles from our guests over the last year.

Slowly the greenhouse is coming together. It's hard building a structure this big alone.

The center beams are from Natachee's dad, old Moroccan hand carved. We've been getting a lot of wind in the canyon and I'm glad that it hasn't blown away.

The polycarbonate came in for the greenhouse, this is the first few sheets. Finishing all of the wood with Australian timber oil. In my experience it's worked the best in the new mexico sun. The ends of the posts are burnt and then oiled.

This is an elm stump a client wanted to be made into a table for their patio. It originally weighed 500lbs. Turned out pretty nice.

This bench I made from materials all found on the property in Coyote, NM: apricot wood, pine and gamble oak. Every spoke post is hand carved. The legs are all just one oak branch. Finished with tung oil and paste wax.
