Good evening y'all!!!

I got the opportunity to make a gift for a family member who loves vinyl records

At first I thought "what vinyl record should I get him?", but that choice was too much pressure, there is just TOO MUCH good music in this world

While doing some reading on good accessories I kept seeing "Now Playing" signs, and cover holders. So I thought, why not both?

I've had a handful of oak pieces around to make something unique, and all the ideas fell right in line for this gift!

Y'all have a great evening and a wonderful week!

Good evening y'all!!!

It has been a hot minute since I posted, been busy with all things life

So tonight I am sharing this of a custom board I knocked out in October
This cutting board I built from scraps for a raffle at a Men's Event at my Church

This board is technically the average color of all the cutting boards I have ever made, LOL. It is a patterned end grain cutting board, but I specifically made a with a thin strip of black walnut then a strip of maple.

The specs of the board:
All end grain
Washer reinforced rubber feet
Custom engravings
Finished with mineral oil and cutting board conditioner

Y'all have a great evening and a wonderful week!!!!

What is up y'all?????

Happy to share a very overdue wedding gift for some fantastic friends!

This hard maple board is a little bigger than the average everyday use sized board! I also tried a new handle cut that is deeper and wider. This allows a plate to be slid partially under the board so food prep can be easily scraped off

Another cool feature is the custom engraving. My friend's grandfather made them a custom branding iron for their wedding. Took that brand, converted it to a .jpg, and engraved it on the side of the board. Since i already had the laser going, I engraved a set of red oak coasters!

The specs of the board:

18" long x 12" wide x 2.5" thick

Hard Maple

All end grain

Washer reinforced rubber feet

Custom engravings

Finished with mineral oil and cutting board conditioner

Y'all have a great evening and a wonderful week!

Papa Jack has two awesome phrases at every big family meal....

What's up y'all???

It may seem like I've been making kitchen utensils for The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, but this is another one for my Mom 😉

But the curves on this spoon are so sweet they probably make doves cry 🤣

This is the last piece in the purpleheart utensil set I made as a Mother's Day gift, and it was the most challenging while also being the most fun!

Not for sale 😂

Hope y'all enjoy the color and curves on this as much as I do!

Have a great day y'all!!!

Hey y'all!!!

The 2nd part of the Mother's Day set I made for my Mom was this spatula!

Like the other piece, it was made from purpleheart, and the color is just spectacular!!!

Not for sale 😉🤣

Y'all have a great day!!!

This was part of a fun gift set I made my Mom for Mother's Day

These two simple spatula/scrapers are one part of the 3 part set I made.

But I'll post them individually because I've heard the algorithm loves it 😉🤣

My Mom's favorite color is purple, so it felt necessary to make her some wooden kitchen utensils from purpleheart. The color of this wood impresses me every time I use it.

Simple in shape, but will be effective!

Y'all have a great evening!!!
