Still making Chicken coops. This one was a custom order for a family in West Virginia. It should easily hold 16 chickens. The nest boxes are inside the main box to help hold the heat in the winter. The metal roof turned out very nice.

This coop was made with salvaged logs from storm damage. The siding is knotted pine board and batton. The framing is a mixture of pine and poplar.

I am accepting new orders.

I am pleased to announce the completion of a custom charcuterie board, carefully crafted from a tree that fell during a storm four years ago. The wood was slabbed and aged, then cut to size, with epoxy used to fill cracks and ensure stability. The board was then surfaced and sanded to a high polish at 600 grit, before being finished with food-safe oils, making it now available for purchase.
