Made my daughter a little bookmark out of leather and purple heart. The wood needs a little more time in the sun to gain back it's color but here pretty quick it will be a nice bright purple

Awww yiss I'm much happier with satin paint instead of gloss. I can't wait to get these tuned up and put em to work

Duchess honey buns - The official squirrel Kraft woodworking snack.
When my health starts to decline, honey buns will absolutey be partially to blame. The box says labeled for individual resale, maybe I should list them on the website 😂

Oh yeah baayybbeeee!!! Customized commemorative keepsake knives and boxes. Names are blurred out for obvious reasons but you get the point.

The red wood is called padauk and I had a heck of a time working with it because apparently I didn't do my research. It's a very oily wood and I had issues with the bright red/orange color bleeding into the contrasting hickory wood. I also had major issues with the polyurethane on it not wanting to dry properly due to the oil content in the wood. In the end it all worked out okay though and the recipients seemed to be very happy with them!

Onto the next project... 😉

More metal working than woodworking but my old early to mid 1900's Stanley No. 3 and No.4 got a good bath, scrubbing, paint stripping and soon some fresh paint. They'll be like new again!
