Cherry Bowl and Chopsticks
|
Jennifer saved a small log from a cherry tree that she used to love. She let it cure for two years, then gave it to me to make into something. After opening the log and determining what condition the wood was in, we agreed to make a bowl and chopsticks.

"Thank you again for making Christmas special this year"
Baby Gate Picture Frames
|
Steven wanted picture frames made out of an old crib and baby gate that he and his wife had been holding onto for sentimental reasons. After some brainstorming, we agreed on three sets of two: a pair of 8x10s using the top piece of the crib, a pair of 5x7s using the narrow vertical pieces, and a pair of 4x6s using the plastic mesh as part of the frame design.

"They are even better than what I had imagined"
Chart-Top Tables
Jen had a chart of Antarctica that she inherited from her father, and she wanted to use it to make two side tables that could either go together as a single piece or be separated. She told me the dimensions she wanted and after some back-and-forth about style and types of wood, I drew up a few ideas for her to consider. In the end she opted for a combination of reclaimed barn oak, some pine and cedar scraps, and industrial accents from scraps of metal.

Porch Bar Top
|
Grace wanted a bar tabletop for her porch. She described what she wanted and sent me a drawing with dimensions as well as a photoshopped image of the porch. I found wood scraps for the project, and she selected the metal legs.
