I don’t know if this counts as traditional “woodworking” bc I had help from some digital tools on this one; but I made a walnut backpack. I don’t know what possessed me to want to make this, but I’m glad I did bc I really like it!

My sister wanted glowing table numbers for her wedding so I 3D printed bases to hide the wires in each of these. My daughter sketched the bridge where they got engaged and I laser engraved that into acrylic and, tah dah! Pretty happy with how the effect came out

My sister wanted lit LED table numbers so I put these together for her! The bases as 3D printed to hide the wires. My daughter (their niece) sketched the bridge where they got engaged and I then laser engraved the sketch into clear acrylic so it would glow. Really happy with how these turned out!

I wanted to make a cutting board without generating any scrap wood in the process. This is what I came up with with the help of some resin. I think the scrap boards are even more striking than the main one and this made the most of the original glue up. Excited to share

Candy hearts taste horrible (does anyone actually like them??) BUT My daughter made beautiful resin valentines for her whole middle school class last week out of them with a little help from our CNC router.

My sister is expecting her first son and I’ve been itching to make a primarily walnut dresser, so here it is for the nursery! The drawer faces are from a maple tree i mulled myself that came down in the town baby is going home to for an added personal touch.

I wanted to try a method for making two pencil cups without a lathe, and this is my finished product! Because it was an “experiment” I use all scrap wood... but I have to say I’m really happy with the finished look.

I made myself a laser cut walnut and leather backpack with the help of some living hinges. Can’t wait to use this!

Working with high end materials is fun, but in my experience not always necessary for a cool finished product. I put together a desk clock out of cheap amazon popsicle sticks as a Christmas gift. Check it out!

These started out as cherry slabs and we brought them all the way to finished furniture. The tabletop doubles as a dimmable “nightlight” and there is wireless charging and USB ports hiding in the piece as well. Excited to share and really pleased with how they came out.

I made this dresser for my new nephew’s nursery. Most of this is walnut but the drawer faces are maple I milled myself from a local tree that came down; coincidentally the tree was in the same town baby will be coming home to. I had to incorporate it.

To make the most of remote learning I’ve been using the time to to add in some classes that my daughter doesn’t get at school typically. We made a tortilla press together as a Home Ec/Shop Class Hybrid. Of course She chose to use walnut (seems she inherited my taste)
