Live edge Countertop:

This was a really fun project for me. When I first met with the customer all they knew for certain was that they wanted some sort of counter over the handrail, with the possibility of something live edge. While we were discussing and getting to know each other, we got into the topic of math. My customer was a bit of a math nerd, and proud of it. So when I brought up the idea of doing some thin inserted lines he asked if I would be able to do the Sine / Cosine tangents running through the live edge slab.

I love how this piece turned out. I also loved rising to the challenge of some high level math I didn't quite understand. Also, who doesn't love supporting someone's nerdy obsessions? Hard to see the inserts in pictures since it is outside. But I hope you get the idea.

Chopping blocks. So many chopping blocks.

There is just something special about an end grain chopping blocks. These monsters are easier on your knife, and last longer... if you take care of it. But most importantly every single one is different from the next, having their own bit of flare. Even I sometimes don't know what they're going to turn out like when they're done, but I'm focused on making the best quality anyway. If you love food, love your kitchen, or love someone who does, then one of these are for you. I usually focus on selling these things at craft shows and the like, but I almost always have a dozen or so available.

I installed this job and wanted to show it off. The mantel and the doors really pop with thise Ambrosia Maple grains.

And... I'm back!

Welcome to my new blog! I'm not much of a writer, but here I am anyway. Who ever heard of a woodworking blog anyway? But I feel like I almost disappeared for a while there. I hope to give a bit of an explanation for that, but mostly I wanna say, "I'm here!" I'm ready to take on your projects and get things done. COVID has been a long haul for many of us, and I'm certainly not excluded. We've had kids home from school, and all of us home sick, not to mention a career change to woodworking. Maybe not the best timing now that I think about it. Looking back in this time I can't help but notice that I've had the great privilege of being in surgery four times since COVID started. Early on I had both of my wrists done to fix Carpel Tunnel. I would love to say that it's fun having someone cut into your hand and promise that they're doing it carefully. Turns out, tt certainly wasn't my favourite experience. But I certainly don't miss the co...
