I'm using this site to display my projects that have been keeping me busy. My Instagram account is the best way to get ahold of me and the feed will be displayed on this page.
Thanks and enjoy!

Upgraded the ol' cutting board the other day. Needed to make a more serious juice groove on it and hopefully this does the trick!. Finished with @grandfinishing
Put the finishing touches on this large coffee table today. Walnut slab from @blackforestwoodco in Calgary that @langelaar_woodworks was kind enough to haul out this way.
End table to follow.
Starting off 2023 with a big walnut coffee table!
Getting outside my comfort zone and will be attending Scattered Seeds this weekend!
Market times:
Friday 10am-9pm
Saturday 10am-6pm
Sunday 10am-5pm
Come and check it out, there are a lot of skilled makers and it takes a LOT of work to get ready for a market of this size!

It's been 13 years since it was my turn to push this rickety bed across the province, glad to see the tradition is still going strong! That year's success is 100% owed to the 1st year energy provided by @m_ross10 @amcfadden8 and James Mowat. Donation to this year's charity @starsambulance can be made online!
This weekend I tried making use of an apple tree that needed to come down at the in-laws farm. Made three open vessels but the first one exploded on me so these two remain. Apple wood is highly unstable but the grain makes it all worth it.
Ocean blue for the win! This is a 40 inch wide table approx 3" thick. This thing absorbed way more epoxy than I expected but on a positive note it's now extremely stable. Legs will be installed once the finish cures. Will be available at scattered seeds on the 2nd weekend.

@drpkat tells me that this is too large of a salad bowl. I wasn't aware that this was a thing? Hockey puck for scale. Please advise.

Two - 16 inch nested walnut sets. Got a bit of a workout processing these bad boys today.

Getting real sick of Googling the safe cooking temps when I BBQ so I made this out of some scrap cedar which should withstand the elements left outside.
Finished making the display stands for @thescatteredseeds . Big shoutout to @scienceboy314 for helping out and proving to math teachers everywhere that the Pythagorean therom is useful outside of the classroom.

Some good looking plaques from Dave for whenever he actually gets a deer. Well done!
Got my unpaid intern working on my display stands for @thescatteredseeds in October. Eats a lot, but he's good help!

Getting more crib boards ready for @thescatteredseeds in October! These just received their first coat of @sutherlandwelles polymerized Tung oil sealer and will get another two coats and a buffing before drilling the holes. Excited to be at this market, but also nervous to go into such a large event!
Made some Lego tables over the past couple of weeks. Big shoutout to @natecrillywoodworks for the original inspiration, modified to accomodate regular Lego. Hopefully the little kiddos like it!

Tried the ol' steel wool in vinegar trick to react with the oak to darken it. Did not expect to react this dark or this fast but it's pretty neat!
Cleaning up the shop this morning. Testing some finishes. Back row is Tung oil, first row is woodturners finish. Tung oil is a classic, old, durable, and hard to beat
Trying to utilize all pieces in the shop, even when they are small enough to be considered waste. Catchall? Key dish? Ideas or thoughts?
