Child’s Table & Chairs
I built two of these cute little tables and chairs for children. I used a self-created pattern and beautiful white oak to build this little Craftsman style furniture. It was so much fun to build. Check out the finished walnut and ash version in my gallery. Links to many components used for this build are […]
Wooden Gifts by Froggy
I’ve been building wooden gift items for several years now, when I’m not working on a commission. Additionally, the excessive cost of wood due to COVID has caused me to limit large wood purchases, so instead of large furniture projects, I’ve created more gift items. I really enjoy the small projects, and I actually have […]
Butcher Block Table
Maple & Walnut I just finished this rustic Butcher Block Kitchen Island with a built-in chessboard. It was a custom build designed and constructed to my customer’s exact specifications. It was sized specifically for my customer’s kitchen space and designed to be a fully functional butcher block cutting surface. It was glued up with 2” stripes […]
Tea Box
I spent this past weekend working on yet another project for the cabin. It was small in comparison to most of the cabin projects, approximately 16″ x 12″ x 5″. It’s a little tea storage box made from some leftover materials. There are a few flaws in the walnut case because I didn’t have enough […]

I used a bunch of scraps and a few strips of exotic wood to make these unique craft beer carrying cases. A quick order from Amazon for bottle openers, a little lacquer, and boom – a dozen […]

“Air Filtration” Making the Shop Safer This past weekend, Jules and I hung a new Air Filtration system in the shop. The purpose is to clean more air to make it safer for us to work in the shop. It has the added benefit of reducing dust particles when it comes to finishing time. It is […]
Custom Builds
Walnut with Maple String Inlay Custom furniture is not cheap, and I completely understand why most people don’t want to pay the extra cost. In most situations, you can find a great piece of furniture that will meet your needs for a fraction of the cost of a custom-built project. But if you find yourself […]
G&G Hickory Mirror
“Greene & Greene Style Hickory Mirror” with Walnut Plugs I’ve always loved Greene and Greene style furniture, but it hasn’t fit in the decor of the cabin too well. I finally found a way to make it work with this mirror in our front room. It is a small space, so this large mirror over the hickory […]
Handcut Dovetails
Using Hand Tools If you follow my blog, you know I’ve recently taken quite an interest in hand tools, especially planes. Over the past twelve years, I’ve perfected many of my woodworking skills, but I’ve relied almost exclusively on power. I’ve always wanted to improve my hand tool skills, but I’ve always had a personal […]
