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!

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!!!
