This was a very time consuming, but fun, project.
I made this massive 7 foot bench (inside to inside) out of hemlock and cedar. I ripped/cut the arches out of a curved cedar tree from our property and.. Hours and hours, lots of sanding and 3 coats of spar urethane later...

It was time well spent.

One of my favorite tools.
An old Stanley no.4 hand plane with patent dates from the early 1900's. I figured I'd give it a touch of my own personalization with some hints of red. |

|
Another one of my favorite tools are these mallets I make.
Perfect for my woodworking or leatherworking with just the right amount of weight. |
|
This handy device is called a stitching pony.
I made it out of some oak pallet wood and gave the jaws some cushion with leather pads. I use this on occasion to help hold my leather projects when I need a third hand. |

A client contacted me to see if I could save an heirloom from her husband's relative who had passed.
Given a couple of options she opted to replace the crumbling leather with a hand carved wooden handle. I finished it off with some mineral oil and carnauba wax for a nice shine. It is now functional again, a piece to be treasured by the family for decades more to come. |

This was a cedar gate I made for our goat yard.
I'm not sure if it increased milk production, but I'd like to think so. |

This is a solid wood travel box I made for my tools.
Pictured with it is my Stanley hand plane used to prepare the wood and a leather roll chisel pouch I created for those used as well. |
|
This lamp was made from a unique, antique saw.
Somewhere back in the 50's this Mcculloch 2-man chainsaw bar sprocket was made. I decided to turn it into a chainsaw lamp. Believe it or not this piece stands at about 3 feet tall! |

A client requested I make cowboy hat hangers
for a Father's day gift. I chose Aromatic cedar (a natural deodorizer) for the hangers and hemlock for the back boards. Sealed with walnut oil, they both loved the finished product. |
|
My favorite project so far has been my former workshop.
I was able to make it on a budget and finished the siding with old cedar fence boards I resurfaced. I also added a mural of a mountain range on the side. |
