Walnut Serving Spoon.

March is the month of Birthdays in this family. This was a gift for my mother-in-law, she really loves wooden spoons so this was the perfect gift... I think? The spoon was hand carved from a one inch piece of walnut I picked up from an Amish mill in Iowa. Spoon carving is something I have been interested in for a while. I have to give the inspiration for this project to Matt Cremona's wife Lindsay , after watching her video I was like " that's a perfect gift idea" so thanks Lindsay!

I finished it with butchers block oil, and sanded it to 1200 grit. All in all i was pretty stoked with the final product, and hope it serves her for years to come. As always thanks for checking out the blog and be sure to follow the blog!

Open Book Holder.

While visiting family in Iowa, I was able to pick up some hardwoods that I unfortunately can not find in Florida. Well I can't find it cheap anyway.

I have seen these on Pinterest and in other media sources, so these are not an original idea... Just a disclaimer.

I made two of these for my wife for Christmas and I'm really happy with the way they turned out, the two toned one is walnut and maple, and the three toned ones are walnut, oak, and, osage. 

Thanks for stopping by and never stop creating! 

 

Dovetail Keys

Tried my hand at dovetail inlay keys today. It's really an easy process, and I've always liked the look. I like that it keeps the piece the same, but different.
