My favorite one by far! Very beneficial for your skin but the little bits of oat in there scrub your skin well and the smell is AMAZING! Like honey and something akin to fresh baked bread...its hard to describe. You will just have to see for yourself.

All the care and attention put into woodworking is being poured into our family's new venture. Cutting our tallow & honey soap, lavender/lemongrass and citrus/spice.

First time using our new soap cutter, as a woodworker before becoming a soap maker this thing is built awesome: hardwood bridal joints on the cutting arm, strong metal brackets, a measuring ruler built in.

I gotta say, this soap feels nice. Especially the oats & oat milk bars, as a man I enjoy the simplicity of just using a bar of soap but I have always hated the way other bars make my skin feel after getting out of the shower.

✨ Tallow for healthy skin? It’s a yes from us! Most of our health products contain all-natural, grass-fed tallow. This means each creation containing tallow is packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus fatty acids that nourish, hydrate, and protect your skin. 🌼 What are your favorite natural skincare ingredients?

Hello friends,

The last few years have been a season of change for our family, and by God's grace and provision, we've found our new home in Eastern South Dakota!

This new chapter has also brought to life a new family venture: heritage hives. While my passion for woodworking will always be a part of what I do, this new business is a dream that our whole family can share.

We're excited to start offering handcrafted mead, soap, honey, and fresh-cut flowers. We have truly valued your support over the years and would be honored if you'd join us on this new journey.

Please give our new business page a like and follow to see what we're creating and to be the first to get your hands on our quality products!

For all the amazing people who have been supporting and following my work and this business, who may want to continue supporting an amazing fine furniture small business. I have been working with Olive and Wool Furniture for several weeks now creating furniture here in the Central Texas area and plan on continuing to do so into the future.

Please check them out and consider showing them the same support you showed me as all small business owners benefit greatly from word of mouth.

What Has Been Going On!?
It has been FOREVER, and I am sorry. This post/update has been a long time coming! This last year and a half have been hectic on all of us. So here is an update as to why the business has been so silent, everything we have been up to and some information so everyone can know what is happening moving forward.

For anyone who may not know my family and I live in a tiny home (20’ trailer) which we have built from the ground up and are still building while we live in it. The slow down of custom order acceptance initially started when we moved our tiny home to a new property, as this put us in between workshops and drove a shift to complete more of our tiny house. Earlier this year my family also learned we are expecting a new BABY GIRL! We are very excited for baby Freya! When we learned this news, we knew there needed to be an even bigger shift towards completing as much of the tiny house as possible. At that point, I began refusing all custom orders as building my family’s home needed to come first. A few months ago, we were able to go on a few weeks’ vacation to see all of our family up in South Dakota and then spend several days site seeing Yellowstone and as we made our way back down to our home in Texas. Earlier this year we decided to begin homeschooling our daughter who starts the 4th grade this year. After we returned from our vacation, we shortly started up our homeschooling curriculum, which has been quiet the experience! This about catches everybody up onto everything I have failed to post about over the last several months. Lots of picture are included!
*Some of the items completed on the house include: Water System Start to Finish, Propane System Start to Finish, Kitchen Lighting, Vents, Electrical, Shelves and Storage, Trim, and Falon's Loft Stairs*

Lastly, Where Are We Headed?
Unfortunately, going forward our company will not be picking up more steam but continuing to slowing down. I will be searching for a new career to provide a more stable income for our growing family. However, I currently do not plan to close Heirloom Custom Woodworking. Everything will remain in place with any new custom orders being taken on a very limited case by case basis. Our Online Products section will remain operational for any in stock items with shipping continuing normally.
