Every once in a while I’m able to keep the bark of a tree intact on the final piece. This mirror displays those bark edges and creates a fun texture to complement the otherwise sleek appearance of the frame.

Sometimes you need help from a friend with a bigger bandsaw 💪🏼 My buddy Stewart helped me re-saw some beautiful Bastogne Walnut boards today. These will be made into doors for my next cabinet.

I’m out of the woodshop this week, leading my daughter Ruth and her 4 classmates on a Senior Trip to Washington, DC. Today was a fantastic first day: we spent 8 hrs on e-bikes and visited all the monuments around the national mall, the air and space museum, the American history museum, the natural history museum, the heavily fenced White House, found great coffee, ate a picnic lunch under a tree, and lost zero kids. At least, not for long. Then we got back to the Airbnb, made a big taco dinner and now it’s eating ice cream while watching the sunset time.

Sold on my website this morning and I’m already on my way to the shipper 🚐 💨

Whenever an order comes in, I like to drop what I’m doing and try to get it shipped out the same day! It’s like my fun little challenge and a way to treat each customer like a VIP 🌟

12 years ago, when I took these photos, I was building one of my very first River Tables. My two little girls would wander out to the shop in their pajamas to see what Dad was working on.
At the time, my shop was a single-car garage behind the little house we rented. It had four electrical outlets, one overhead light, and no windows. No heat either. Most mornings, regardless of the season, I would roll open the garage door at the beginning of the day and close it at night. It was cramped, cold, and required a lot of adaptability, but I was deeply thankful for that humble place to create.
Back then, we barely had enough money to stay above water. On paper, we were poor, but in reality our lives felt incredibly rich.
This little girl on the left just graduated high school, and somehow these photos feel a lot more emotional than they did when I first took them. 🥹

Here's a look at a slab dining table I made for a customer in Tennessee. They made my work a theme in their home. In addition to this mega dining table, they have a coffee table, a desk and you can even get a glimpse of my work in their kitchen cabinets 👀
