These are two of my favorite knife saya (cover) I've made and give a nice, secure place to store the knives. I often leave them on the counter, but it works well for storing in a drawer as well.

The creation of this bench design was rooted in simplicity and practicality. It's made to withstand the elements while serving as a sturdy bench to provide a place to enjoy the garden. I sometimes enjoy the projects that can be done in just a few hours.

One of my favorite things but also the most challenging is patching knots or other unstable parts of wood slabs. Getting it right is so satisfying and making mistakes is very annoying.

Pictured here is a sugi pine live edge slab which is going to be an end table some day soon. This wood has really amazing red colors that make it a beautiful material to work with.
