Finally finished the wishing well! All cedar (I love the smell). It turned out great, and I love the color contrast. It’s bigger than I expected as it’s over 6 ft tall. I had some help with the flowers but the rest was another creation by Brad.

New tray is finally finished. Solid spalted maple with a beeswax and mineral oil finish to show off the fantastic grain of this wood. Added some feet and some beautiful handles on the sides. This is ready for our next charcuterie night!

New project is almost complete. Just need some tweaks hiding the tubing. Picked up a retired whiskey barrel, and added in some lights and a pump from Amazon.

Needed some trellises for the climbing roses we planted this year. Grabbed a few cedar fence boards, ripped them down into strips then brad nailed them together. Pretty simple project but much better than buying premade ones for 10x the amount of 4 fence boards.

Newest build is a serving tray built of solid walnut and finished with my beeswax/mineral oil creation. This build was simple until it came down to the 45 degree corners which never seem to line up properly without additional cuts/fixes.

Finished the cheese slicing board. Made of walnut and maple leftover wood scraps. Turned out really well. I especially like applying the oil/beeswax and seeing how the grain comes out!

Finished project. Love the way this turned out. The accent wall is 24x24 tiles from Costco that can be cut and shaped how you want it to look. Lots of black dust and felt when cutting them on the table saw. Still need to clean up the mess in the garage but the living room is mostly done!

New project in the works. Filling in this box to update the space. My drywall and mudding needs work so will probably end up making this an accent wall with some new paint.

Made some Christmas coasters for gifts this year. It was a fun quick project and I think they turned out great!
