A couple of Christmas gifts I made for 2022. Also made the Cornhole Set, but that’s got its own post. We’ve got a bit edge grain cutting board and a tablet stand.

Kaylin and I recently had our 5 year anniversary, and I made her a jewelry box to celebrate. It’s a pretty special box and turned out great!

A batch of frames, including a frame for a print we bought in Kauai for Virginia, and an old print from a family trip we took out west in 2005.

A couple of small projects to help organize the kitchen. We’ve got a shelf that adds additional mug storage capacity, and a little rack for storing attachments for the stand mixer.

A batch of frames, including 3 pictures of our late daughter Allison, and a Christmas gift for Joe.

I did a commission! Well sort of. My friend asked if I was interested in making a bar for his apartment, and I agreed to do it for basically the cost of materials. We worked together on the design and went back and forth with a couple iterations.

I made a sign for Allison’s Garden, which my mom maintains in memory of our daughter Allison Grace. Printed out the lettering and glued onto the surface. Followed the edges using a router with a v-groove bit. Filled the void with epoxy died black. Mounted to steel legs, and finished with epoxy.

A batch of frames, including two large prints of pictures I took in Yosemite / Sequoia, an old sketch of a cathedral from my Grandma, and a shadow box to remember Allison.

My wife and I are expecting our first child, and I decided that I wanted to build the crib myself. A few years back a bad storm rolled through and knocked down a few sizable limbs from a soft maple tree in my mother-in-law’s yard. My friend Grant helped me get the logs milled into boards, and the wood has been sitting in my basement drying ever since. I constructed the crib from this wood, and so now our baby will sleep in a crib made from a tree that my wife grew up alongside. What a great connection!

My working arrangement recently became permanently remote, and my old desk just wasn’t cutting it anymore. The desk’s surface was small and cluttered, its clumsy finish was becoming increasingly hard to look at, and its fixed height was not particularly ergonomic. It was time to invest in my home office setup, and build a better desk.
