I was honored to be commissioned to build a checkout counter for , the new art supply store in downtown Nevada City. This fun, functional design was a collaboration, with curves, pull out work surfaces and LED lighting.

The store is now open ever day, except Tuesdays and Wednesdays. They have a great selection, and are getting more goodies in every day. I’m so excited to have a proper, professional art supply store here in Nevada City. Go check it out and support a local artist run business!!!

They will be open for downtown arts walk tonight from 6 to 9 PM. They are going to have a local print maker there making prints.

I’d like to announce the re-branding of my custom woodworking business. Formally named Symmetree Woodworks, will now be Oak Seed Woodworks. I’ve decided to rebrand because I never loved the old name or logo, and by trying to be clever with the spelling, made spelling it more difficult.

Oak Seed is a salute to the collective of artists that I am a part of, known as . This is a group of artists and a community from my hometown of Riverside CA, who have inspired and supported me on my artistic journey for over twenty years. It was a bittersweet decision to leave my hometown and such a thriving arts community. Being supported and influenced by so many amazing artists in Riverside was key in becoming the artist and entrepreneur I am today.

This is a rough draft of the new logo. I plan to refine it a bit more, then make a woodblock print for the final version. I’ll share the process as it develops.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. I have a bunch of really cool projects lined up for the future, and a few past pieces I still need to share.

This bathroom door was an original contemporary design with a live edge track. This was the inspiration for the closet doors installed in the same home as seen in my last post. These were fun. I’d love to do more modern styles like this.

This set of four doors was used to convert a sorta second dining room into a movie room that can also be used as a private guest room. These were some pretty big ones at 4’x8’ each.

This door was one of the more challenging builds, and definitely the most challenging install I’ve done so far.

The doorway met in the upper corner with the down sloping ceiling. A traditional swinging hinged door just wouldn’t work in this space, so a rolling door was the solution. Getting all the angles and measurements to line up correctly was a fun challenge. The client and I are both real happy with the final piece.

The install was a whole other challenge. With the track extending out over the stairway, I had to build a platform to set my ladder on. It was solid and made for a safe(ish) install.

I’d love to do more of this modern style. What do you think? Would you like something like this as your bathroom door?

Still one of my favorite builds. This charred pine look was a fun door to build and stain. The dark wood contrasts nicely with the rest of the room and bathroom.

This recently completed set of double bypass doors were the perfect way to turn a small dining area into an additional bedroom, while tying into the farmhouse décor of this home.
