If you’ve ever worked with epoxy, you know small pours can be surprisingly unforgiving.
I’ve had plenty of them go sideways while filling knots and voids over the years.
This one, though… nailed it. 👌🏼

Eli wanted to come with me to work at the shop last weekend. Normally he likes to hammer nails into scrap wood for a while before until the outdoors start calling his name. This time I brought paper and his pencils to entertain him and he ended up drawing floor plans for a birdhouse. So of course I took the opportunity to give him a hands on woodworking lesson. Easily one of my favorite memories in the shop to date.

A friend brought over a massive black walnut log last week so we could start planning lumber for an upcoming project. He recently picked up a Mad Max-looking gantry sawmill, and watching that thing turn this tree into slabs and lumber was something else.

The material is now headed to a commercial kiln to dry down before the real work begins.

Projects like this are a good reminder of how much work happens before a board ever makes it into a shop. From the tree itself, to milling, drying, and sorting grain — it’s a pretty incredible process to watch unfold from the start.

Safe to say I may have found a pretty solid new source for hardwoods moving forward.

Teachers spend over 1,000 hours pouring into our kids each year, and I wanted to show true appreciation for that level of dedication.

I built a schoolhouse bird feeder for my son’s teacher. My kids painted flowers around the base, and my son even wrote a special thank-you message under the lid. Those little touches made this project feel extra meaningful.

Had the best morning visitor in town stop by the shop today.

An insane amount of detail planning goes into each of my cabinetry pieces to be certain my cuts are clean, and in the exact location I intended them to be.

I haven’t seen a thunderstorm receive this much hype in quite a while. So with that being said, it’s time to batten down the hatches.

The Labadie Elementary Spring Auction is coming up—April 17 at John Bush Brewery in Washington. It’s a great night: food, drinks, music bingo, and a lot of support for the school.

I’m donating another handmade piece to this year’s auction.

This time, it’s a one-of-a-kind charcuterie board—hickory and walnut from right here in Labadie, with gold epoxy detail. Perfect for anyone who loves hosting—whether it’s a wine night, a baby shower, or just an impressive centerpiece on the table.

If you’re coming, keep an eye out. If you’re not, grab a ticket—it’s a great event to be part of.

April 17 | John Bush Brewery | $50 tickets
