**For Sale** Charm City Swing. This art deco boutique porch swing is inspired by Baltimorean architecture, and made with walnut from Baltimore's own Camp Small. Surely there's a sunroom, library, or covered porch that calls for this one-of-a-kind swing.

Winter is my favorite season for rehabbing beloved chair seats. I weave cane, shaker tape, danish cord, and flat reed. If you have a chair in need of some TLC, reach out for an estimate.

I was honored to participate in EnterpRISE 2024 through Open Works in Baltimore and take home first place for the winning business pitch! I hope my *coming soon* line of boutique porch swings will bring a little bit of peace to our world.

Nice to meet you!

We were lucky to catch up with Bonnie Hawk recently and have shared our conversation below. Bonnie, appreciate you joining us today. It’s easy to look at a business or industry as an outsider and assume it’s super profitable – but we’ve seen over and over again in our conversation with folks...

Just finished up these Paralette Bars in hard maple, for someone who wants to take their headstands and push ups to the next level. Happy Fall! 🍁

Cat’s Paw Headboard in cherry. Sometimes a board of wood is so beautiful, you just hang it on a wall and call it a headboard.

Gorgeous quilt by Jane Scott.

Theirs and Theirs Shaker tables in cherry and walnut. These cuties are for sale! Message me if you’re interested.

I’ve always loved the simplicity of Shaker furniture, as well as niche peaceable religious groups. ;-)

I was honored to blog my first article for Fine Wood Working Magazine in March! If a trip to the lumber yard is in your future, read on!

Learn the basics of visiting a lumber store: how to talk about wood, select a board, understand thickness in quarters, and save on milling services.

The etc dresser, named for my grandmother Elisabeth Thorn Coleman, who always signed her name with those gorgeous initials. This piece is a tribute to the ash tree and the many ways to work its wood. Convex, bent-laminated drawers contrast with concave, hand-woven doors. The solid wood case sits atop turned legs from a beaver-felled backyard tree. With a glimmer of hope for the future of the beautiful ash tree.
