A couple sets of coasters I made for the local market. Not the most exciting project, but uses up scraps and i can exercise some creativity and/or try some things I’ve been wanting to on a smaller scale, like a cerused finish on the oak. I want to play with texture more in the future.

Last thing made in 2024. This one turned out pretty good. I tend to struggle with turning wood bowls. They blow up on me just at the end. From a maple blank I harvested a while back and finished with Rubio Monocoat white.

23k gold leaf, for a traditional reverse water guild of a building number on this new transom prior to instalation.

It’s been about 3 years since the client dropped off a pile of rough cut wormy maple her grandfather harvested for me to build bunk beds for her daughters. It was a challenging project that allowed me to flex some creative muscle.
