If Inigo Montoya’s fathers murderer is looking for woodworking gloves, I think I have found the company. #woodworking #badai

Finally, my favorite project from 2024 was this figured walnut storage bench. It’s made from Oregon black walnut, features wrap-around grain, mitered corners with copper splines, and a maple lining for the interior. Definitely my 2024 masterpiece . #woodworking

2nd to last entry in this series. A client approached me looking for a small, folding table which could so in a small niche, acting as a homework station in use, and disappearing under a couch the rest of the time. This fun little sapele table was the result. #woodworking

I built this 3 drawer entry table for a client who had some very specific dimensions for the space they were looking to utilize, and I think the proportions came out nicely. I also went with quarter sawn walnut for the main components, to keep the grain quiet and elegant. #woodworking

Next up we have a very different project, a trio of tea boxes (inspired by a mike pekovich design) in figured maple, with a continuous grain match all around. The accents are wenge, walnut, and cherry on the various boxes, and the handles are hand carved. #woodworking

The first entry is this sapele headboard and nightstand combo. The panels in the headboard and the drawer faces are veneered with some figured sapele I found The nightstands feature an open shelf to accommodate some medical devices the client needs, while still leaving a clear tabletop. #woodworking

I found myself thinking about this maple and walnut desktop shelf/cabinet today. Among other things, between the cases and the drawer, there were upwards of 120 hand cut dovetails. Lots of work, but still happy every time I visit the client’s house and see it. #woodworking #dovetails

Here is a sapele box I made for my landlord so she can support this small statue on a fence in her garden. #woodworking #dovetails
