Newest project...a flippin pizza peel! Made this sucker from mahogany and maple. The maple on the handle/centre piece is all one. I cut the piece thin at the base with a table saw. I made the smooth slope with my new angle grinder. I added a piece of mahogany to the top and rounded it all together.

This was an extremely fun project to put together. Good news is I have enough material to make a second, which I’ll toss on my Etsy site when it’s finished. This one is spoken for!

This was a fun one! My buddy Heince had this kickass vintage suitcase, and he wanted to use it to hold a custom pedalboard.

I picked up some poplar wood to keep it light weight, rounded the ends of the side walls to fit in the suitcase layout, chamfered the edges of the slats to give a cool design, and finished it with some Early American stain, along with 4 coats of polyurethane topcoat.

Now he just has to add some Velcro straps, hook up some pedals, and shred some sweet solos.

Built another table! This model has been incredibly popular. It’s also always fun to collaborate with my blacksmithing buddy, Jo.

The wood is Canadian live edge Ash. Finished with 3 coats of oil based varnish to give it that antique yellow tone.

Introducing, The Towelie Rack!

The iconic South Park character who’s always looking out for your drying needs is now officially part of my towel rack collection.

This live edge ash cookie has some incredibly beautiful rings (46 total!). I sanded this to 220 grit, wood burned Towelie and the quote in a South Park font, and added some matte black towel hooks that look like an octopus wanting to fight. Two high quality hooks are added to the back to make the hanging process nice and easy.

Don’t forget to bring a towel! Comment below with your favourite Towelie moments.

My grandmother gave me a tray she bought to refinish and repurpose. I sanded it down, and wood burned Bobs Burgers characters and quotes. I then finished it with a food friendly oil finish.

This item is for sale!
