Hey friends! It's been a minute. Things have (noticeably) been quieter around the shop than we planned. Life brought a lot of changes, challenges, and growth, and The Bent Nail naturally took a back seat for a bit.

We’re still here and happy to still be creating. Here’s a little holiday project we’ve been working on to welcome the season and celebrate the love of family, good friends, and neighbors. Thanks for hanging in there with us. We look forward to sharing more soon 🥰

Happy (almost!) Summer!! 🌞🌻

We're back, and back at it! This time, with a little help, too. We're busy working on our first order of the season and we love it when the kids get involved! It's great to be able to share a love of creating and woodworking with them.

We have availability for a limited amount of custom orders this summer, so be sure to check in if you're interested in some new furniture for your cabin or mountain home.

Hope everyone's staying cool in this heat! 🐻

Happy New Year from The Bent Nail Workshop!

As we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you who have supported us in our journey in growing our small family-run woodworking business. This past year has offered us many opportunities for reflection and looking back, it was truly great. We also recently celebrated two wonderful years in Idyllwild, and we hope for many to come.

Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to sharing more creative adventures in the coming year!

It’s a happy delivery day kind of Saturday afternoon here in Idyllwild ❤️ Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Happy 4th of July, friends and family, Idyllwild and beyond -

This year, we'd like to celebrate not only our love for the mountains but also the amazing spirit of those who dwell in and visit our beautiful town. From the climbers and adventurers to the small business owners and community builders, we are united by our shared love for this majestic land and the sense of community that thrives here in Idyllwild.

As we wave our flags and gather for barbecues, let's remember to support our local businesses, artisans, healers, and entrepreneurs who contribute to the unique fabric of our mountain community. Together, we can ensure the prosperity of our beloved mountains and preserve Idyllwild’s unique charm for generations to come.

On this Fourth of July, let's revel in the beauty of our mountains, celebrate the freedom we enjoy, and cherish the sense of community that makes us strong. We wish you and your families well and we are grateful to be here with you! 🐻🎇❤️

Looking forward, and also looking back - on this New Year's Day we want to wish all of you the best as we transition into another year. With the conclusion of this holiday season we've officially been part of the Idyllwild community for a year now. Admittedly, change isn't always easy although often it's necessary to move forward. Simply put, change is an integral part of life. We were nervous about how we as a family would settle into our new town and where the new trails would take us. If you've followed our page for a while, you have probably realized that we aren't just chronicling our woodworking journey, but we are also sharing the adventure of two people and some really amazing kids who love the mountains and living life under the tall trees. We are grateful to have landed here and for everyone we have connected with along the way. We have met so many kind people, both here, and back in Big Bear, and we are better for having known you. We hope next year will be even more amazing and we wish you and your families a very happy 2023.

And for cuteness factor: it's fun to view life through the lens of a young child. We were so thankful that Flora got a chance to meet Mayor Max III and his sister Meadow on New Year's Eve. How great is it to be able to tell your child that Max is her town's hero. We can't think of a better way to end the year than puppy kisses 🥰

Thank you again and Happy New Year!

Sherry, Frank & Family

Happy Fall, everyone! It's been a great almost-year here, meeting friendly new faces and exploring new forests. With the temperatures starting to drop it's time to slow down a bit and focus on some interior projects. Feel free to reach out if you have a project in mind. We can always co-daydream about next Spring 🌷

❤️ Frank, Sherry, & our little Flower

Happy Saturday! Reflecting back, this summer has gone by faster than we ever could have imagined. Part of that is because our wonderful clients kept us so busy. Thank you! The rest of it is because we were busy wandering one of the most beautiful places on earth 😍 Here's that rocking chair we talked about a while back... for a grandfather to rock his sweet new grandbaby. We love being a part of the creation of beautiful memories. We wish you all well and a beautiful conclusion of your summer!

There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy... What are some of yours? For us it's the mountains, the time we spend as family in nature, and the beautiful connections we've made in this life. We've been grateful for the endless amazing skies lately and the opportunity to create pieces for a few more of you. With summer coming to a close, things usually slow down for us. We do have a few exciting projects in the works though, so stay tuned. For now, enjoy your day, your loved ones, and your home, wherever home may be. 🥰🦊🌲
