Just finishing up the new coop build at the house. It has been a long road. I decided to go back to the basics with the build using only basic power tools. It was a great experience and refreshed skills that I hadn’t used in years.

I've just completed a beautiful new charcuterie board, crafted from a stunning black walnut live-edge slab, measuring 12” wide, 20” long, and 1 1/2” thick, to donate to a local animal rescue, spreading joy and support to those in need. Finished with cutting board oil, this masterpiece is ready to shine at their upcoming fundraising auction. Let's collaborate on your custom project, bringing your vision to life.
