Holly asked me for a sign for the newest little since we had them for the 2 big kids... so I snuck this in while working on some Christmas orders in the shop. I'm liking it on the cedar, but I think it would have looked nice on a white-washed board as well

Isn't that how it works? We just get things rolling again and something breaks. Laser will be out of commission for a few days while I wait for parts.

Hey everyone, long time no talk. As most of you may already know I've been absent for quite some time due to some big life changes. We expanded our family, and moved to a new home. It has taken much longer than anticipated to get the shop back up and going, but I'm finally getting to that point. I'm not running at 100% but I am back to making some things. To those of you who have been patiently waiting for items, I apologize, and I will be getting to them as quickly as I can. And for the rest of you, you can expect to start seeing some posts again of things I have made. I'm definitely glad to be back in the shop again, I hope you all enjoy the updates that will be coming.

Spring planting has been a bear. So I've not shared much of what I've done in the shop lately, but I have still been able to get a few small projects done for people. I just finished and delivered this Monogram Plaque this evening. It was made with red oak, then stained and painted.

I was asked by a friend to come up with a design to put on his smoker. He came up with the name, "Big Joe's Bitchin' BBQ" and this design grew out of that.

I needed to run a sample before I do the big one, so I figured the grillmaster might need a little help to get into the zone. I think this flask should do the trick.

These things make great gifts too... wedding parties, father's day, birthday. I can put about any design on one that you can dream up.

Hey everyone. It has been a while since I have posted anything. First off to all those wonderful people out there named "Mom"... Happy Mother's Day!

A friend came to me with a design and asked if I could duplicate it for his wife for mother's day, so of course while I was doing that I made one for my wife as well!

These were a fun little challenge. I got to use both the laser and the onefinity, as well as doing some more traditional woodworking on the frames.

Just a heads up, my messenger is saying I have a couple messages but it is not letting me get to them currently. If you have sent me a message, thank you, and just know that I'm not ignoring you. I will get to you once things start working again. Thanks for understanding.
