A few weeks ago I kept finding random cedar shavings all over the woodshop, which was weird since I haven't worked with cedar in a few months. 

That's when I discovered the beginnings of a nest. 

I was super happy to help my friend and former roommate by building some custom woodwork for her really cool "Whiskey and Wildflowers" themed wedding. My former career had me constantly planning events and I really miss it. So whenever I get the opportunity to help design something as big a deal as a wedding, I jump on it.  Plus, I wasn't convinced that I was going to get an invite, so this totally helped me secure a seat. First up, Brooke wanted a bright white giant letter S to use as a guest sign in.

A woodworker friend of mine had his woodshop destroyed by a fallen tree. Well played, trees.  I can imagine how truly devastating it would be to lose the only space you can use to create.

Did you buy something from me in the last 6 months? You helped me get there. Thank you :) This time they needed a ton of garden beds and other outdoor woodwork done for their garden. I made square beds for stacking potatoes, long beds for other plants, stacked long beds as cubbies for sacked compost projects, and I ended up building them some new sawhorses when the...
