About Me

Welcome to my site. I create custom, handcrafted hardwood tables and wood-based home decor. I discovered a real passion for woodworking during the pandemic and now offer custom woodworking services (mostly to fund this very expensive hobby :).

I take pride in creating one-of-a-kind pieces that are more than just functional furniture.  Making something from scratch is my happy place and working with wood makes each project unique because no two pieces of wood are the same.

Connect with me if you’re interested in a piece for your home.

Epoxy Color Sample Board In preparation for my biggest project up to that point, I took a scrap piece of the wood and tested epoxy colors to see how they looked in combination with the wood. I made extra holes for future colors and can keep the boa
Console Table with Jake Jake and I each bought amazing Spalted Curly Maple Slabs. For our first project using the slabs, we used a cut-off to make a console table with epoxy. Jake removed the bark, cleaned the edges and planed the slabs flat befor

New Table Saw!! Upgraded to the Delta T2 contractor table saw. After two and a half years using the 8-1/4” Dewalt jobsite saw I decided to upgrade to the 10” Delta. The larger saw will allow me to breakdown larger lumber, use a dado sta
